Default Why don't we just leave the Soviet boomers alone?

I've often thought that all the Russian's have to do is single up all lines and then depart the port their submarines are home ported.
Then just wait for orders to fire with a 5,600 mile range they already have most of North America in their sights.

In fact there is rumor that the first patrol of a Typhoon sub was just outside of it's port in a deep ridge bordered by shallow water and are you ready for this they even had a land line straight to Moscow (unverified)






Hey U.S. Navy—Maybe Leave Russia’s Nuclear Missile Submarines Alone



Quote:
in the early 1970s, with the commissioning of the Soviet navy’s Delta-class boomers with their SS-N-8 nuclear-tipped rockets. The SS-N-8 could strike targets as far away as 5,600 miles, allowing the Deltas to conduct deterrence patrols in the the Barents Sea and Arctic Ocean.

Sticking close to home placed the Soviet boomers within range of land-based patrol planes and short-range warships. The ships and planes could protect the boomers, preserving the Soviet Union’s “second-strike” capability—that is, its ability to return fire after an initial salvo of land-based nuclear missiles.

Why don't we just drop some submarine drones that sound like USN SSN's that can't be located without active sonar in the arctic. Would be fun to make them silent and then start up again. Controlled by patrol planes of course
