    When you, a corrupt general, get your annual $10 millions to take care of 50 nuclear warheads, that will never ever be used, what will you do?

      The care of the warheads is typically done by some central organization, rather than every individual missile base. Its really specialized work, and it doesn’t make sense to have teams capable of performing it at every base.

        It was just a metaphor for corruption, you are right but the corruption could take place in the centralised organisation, everything is centralised in russia.
