Yeah, that has been well known for several years. The treaty allows testing naval and air missiles but forbids ground-based short and mid-range missiles. Russia tests naval missiles on land as it doesn't have enough money to do proper naval test, at least that's what was informally conveyed to USA before. It was winked at when relations were ok, but now its another leverage.
Technically speaking, USA drones can be classified as mid-range cruise missile too, if one has enogh imagination and desire. So these accusations about the threaty will lead to nowhere.
