I was given the impression that modern nuclear warheads are much smaller(and more accurate) than those back in the cold war.

Yes, as I understand it, these could simply be cruise missiles with nuclear war heads, which is probably the type of weapons being carrier by the Tupolev Tu-95 (Russian Bear's) which keep testing UK airspace/reaction times.

I think both are available there are still plenty of the old ICBM's sat in underground silo's or in the case of the Russians mounted on lorries and on trains!

Yes the physical numbers of warheads/missiles have greatly reduced, but there are still plenty of them to go around......
