Russia is actually getting 21st century experience fighting right now. The west? Getting an opportunity to get fucked economically and have all it's shit blown up. And also have it's military resources depleted while pretending they aren't.
If Europe or the United States were ever to turn against Russia with nuclear weapons and fire the first missiles, Russia's nuclear defense system is designed to destroy its enemies autonomously, even after the country has turned into a wasteland. Russia's nuclear defense system consists of 700 nuclear weapon “carriers” – strategic bombers, nuclear submarines and intercontinental ballistic missile silos – ready to unleash hundreds of autonomous nuclear missiles, even if the country has already been wiped out by a nuclear attack and there are no more human operators. are available. This autonomous “Perimeter” system is called “Dead Hand”and it was created in the wake of the Cold War as a failsafe retaliatory defense system to deter nuclear threats from the West, writes Lance D Johnson .
Russia's "Dead Hand" System Will Totally Destroy The World If Nuclear Weapons Are Used Against Russia
After the United States tested two nuclear missiles over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, the military leadership of the Soviet Union better understood the capabilities of the West and their crude way of waging war.
To deter a potential nuclear attack on Russian soil, the Soviet military leadership needed a missile defense system that could work even if its own human operators were knocked out. It would only take one enemy nuclear missile to destroy a command post, shutting down the entire operation for their nuclear facilities. Advances in radio-electronic warfare also posed a threat to standard control channels, potentially endangering the nation's entire nuclear arsenal. Therefore, the Soviet military developed a nuclear defense system for retaliation, which could strike from all intercontinental missile silos without human operators.
This led to the development of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). In the event of an all-out nuclear war, the missile could be launched, activating hundreds of nuclear missile silos across the Russian territory. This main silo was built in the mid-1970s and was expressly designed to withstand a direct nuclear hit. The command missile was equipped with flight coordinates and radio transmitting equipment that could activate all other missiles throughout the country during its flight.
In the 80s, Soviet engineers showed off a prototype of the intercontinental ballistic missile UR-100N. Then it could cover 4,500 kilometers at an altitude of 4,000 meters, sending radio signals to other missiles during its flight. Five years after the initial launch, the Soviet military put the entire defense system to the test. They successfully demonstrated that the new weapon could open a real silo in flight and send another nuclear missile to a designated point.
The Russians are prepared for any nuclear attack and are ready to cause human extermination
The Russians made history in November 1984 when they launched their command missile from the Belarusian SSR and successfully delivered a commando to a silo launcher near Baikonur in Kazakhstan. The command activated an R-36M ICBM from the silo and sent it to a precise location at the Kura test site in Kamchatka. This mission was completed after the command missile traveled all over the Soviet territory, proving its ability to send multiple commands to various missiles across the country. The Russian military adopted the Dead Hand system in 1985, and it is still in use today.
Since its introduction, the new system has been equipped with radars that monitor the perimeter of the Russian territory. Satellites from space are also integrated into the sophisticated surveillance system. Today, a complex computer system monitors radiation levels, seismic activations and data from missile warning systems across the country. This system uses Voronezh-class radars, which can detect missile launches up to 7,000 kilometers away, so that it can prepare autonomous emergency counterattacks if necessary. Today's warheads are also equipped with electronic warfare defense systems, which guard against radio interference or total shutdown.
Ivan Konovalov, Director of Development at the Foundation for the Advancement of Technologies of the 21st Century, said the Dead Hand missiles are currently equipped with hypersonic missile blocks, which can shoot them at 5-7 kilometers per second. “The new missiles will be integrated into the military alongside new Sarmat-class ICBMs. The latter missiles will be added to the military in the mid-2020s. So the modified hyper-sonic version of the 'Dead Hand' missiles will appear next to them,” Konovalov said.
With Dead Hand, the Russians are prepared for nuclear war and can confront the heavy nuclear bluff of the West. Their Dead Hand defense system is designed to thwart an end-of-the-world scenario, but the system is also primed to do the exact opposite - end the world as we know it, if Russia comes under attack.
