The exact number is highly classified. It would be classified as Top Secret information. Both sides kept such things secret, while making it obvious to the other that the number is substantial.

The nuclear arms reduction treaties such as START do not restrict the number of weapons, only the number of vehicles (missiles, bombers) that can deliver them to their target. Many older nuclear weapons and missiles have been removed from service under various treaties.
