Gregory Walter Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 This is really awesome stuff. Wanna get one https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/dead-hand-russias-nuclear-weapon-system-1-terrifying-feature-90186 It would automatically launch missiles—without the need for a human to push the button—during a nuclear attack.

QuebecOverCanada Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 What? Russia has nukes? I didn't know. Since when? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougie93 Posted October 26, 2019 Report Share Posted October 26, 2019 "Dead Hand", which is actually called Perimeter has never been tested, no evidence that it actually works, and for sure it doesn't work when it's not turned on, which is most of the time. The reason the Russians have it is because they don't have reliable early warning and as such can't see an American counterforce in progress. If Perimeter is not turned on, or doesn't work exactly as advertised, which is usually the case with Russian kit, it's pretty much junk.
