The way M.A.D works is that it's impossible to wipe out nuke-firing capability with a first strike, thus ensuring that there can be no winner. It's literally the entire point of Trident; the UK could be wiped off the face of the planet entirely, and we'd still have enough nuclear firepower at sea to destroy whoever did it.
Russia doesn't need a programme like Trident because it's ****ing massive and has active nuclear silos scattered all over the place. Impossible to target them all without there still being plenty left to fire back.
