Article Abstract:

The analysis commissioned by the Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI), a United States watchdog group, concluded that truly 'comprehensive' upgrades have been completed at only-fifth of all Russian sites storing weapons material, and at merely 5% of about 150 military sites believed to house actual warheads.
