They have a lot of missiles ready to go, same as the US with the ICBM silos in the Midwest.

Yes. I was asking about cruise missiles, not ICBMs.

From what I read in the WSJ, they keep them their nuclear missiles at storage sites, and it's possible for satellites to view when there's movement going on. https://www.wsj.com/video/series/wsj-explains/the-mechanics-of-russias-nuclear-arsenal-explained/916534DC-84D1-407A-B03C-F4957B70DAF4

I can't get through the paywall, but the blurb for the source you linked mentions warheads, not missiles. Additionally, when someone says "nuclear missiles" they almost always mean ICBMs, not cruise missiles.
