Because tactical warheads are counted too. For example, Russia has a lot for them prepared for the US allies in Europe. There is no need in heavy ICBM's to destroy NATO targets say in Poland, UK, Czech Republic or Germany

In fact it does. The USA have a bit more strategic warheads (about 5-10% or so), but Russia has incomparable more tactical ones, intended for the US aircraft carriers, NATO bases in the EU etc.
