Russian ICBMs are aging, their replacement is being planned since the arly 90s. You just don't sit down with an intention for a new missiles, and one year later you are done, so the US missle plan (surely a provocation, and an intent to strategically isolate Russia by a chain of tripwires) is used by the Russians to deflect incoming fire for replacing their old ICBMs with new ones.
But as a matter fo fact that mondernization was in the making since long, and started even before the US basis in Europe have been brought up again some years ago.
That's all there is in that story, and if you ask me - big deal. I assume that is what Xabba was meaning.
