Something to keep in mind, maintaining a nuclear arsenal is very expensive. Not just storage. The Tritium in the warhead has to be replaced every 12 years, the Plutonium has to be replaced every 20 years. That costs are enormous, and russia is almost certainly lying about the size of its arsenal.
Yes looks like it was just the test warheads
