That has nothing to do with mutually assured destruction. MAD is about: “you strike at us? We will detect it and strike back at you destroying your cities. Our people might all die, but your people will too.”

It does not assume that any party can take out the strike force of any other party.

And even if a significant percentage of the around 6000 Russian nuclear warheads aren't functional (due to various reasons), the sheer amount is a credible deterrence.
