Actually I would be surprised if many of the missiles are in the West because it doesn't really matter where they are since ICBM's are generally supposed to hop over the North pole to get to their destination, either the US or Russia, because it is a much shorter distance that way. I would imagine that missiles would be located mostly in the West because of the much better infrastructure there and thus lower maintenance costs, but again I don't actually know where the Russians keep their toys.
