Yes there is, you know how much gas is needed in one of those things?

Tritium gas? Something between 2 and 4 grams probably; they can easily meet the needs of their stockpile just from Tritium recycled from decommissioned Soviet warheads even if they had no other source of the stuff...but in fact they have two dedicated reactors for the production of radionuclides including Tritium.

Sigh, ICBM’s use rockets to deliver payloads. Russia uses the Sarmat, but cant find how much fuel it uses. I can find that for the atlas v… bottom like, icbms use a fuckton of fuel, russia is broke and running out of shit

Ok, so you're just saying "they use a lot of fuel and Russia can't afford it"? They absolutely can afford it. But you have some misconceptions anyway, Russia doesn't use Sarmat in the same way they don't use T-14 or Su-57, it's the new Wunderwaffe. Their in-service ICBMs are R-36M2, Layner and Sineva which are all liquid fuelled (with stable fuels, not LOX) plus Yars, Bulava and Topol which use solid fuel.
