Russian Dead Hand

Recent reports about the analysis that US military departments conduct into consequences of nuclear strikes on Russia and China have generates heated discussions in the world. What do Russia and China have to withstand a possible nuclear attack?

Russia has the automatic missile control system known as the Perimeter. The nuclear potential of China remains classified. According to experts’ estimates, it does not exceed the power of a quarter of a thousand of warheads, compared to nearly two thousand warheads that Russia and the USA have at their disposal. In addition, China has solid-fuel outdated missiles designed to break through the US missile defense system. Therefore, the problem of China’s retaliatory strike on the United States does not look very important.

What is the point of the US analysis at all? Why does the United States want to try to predict the consequences of a possible nuclear attack? The only rational motive that one can see here is an attempt to prevent retaliation in response. Is it possible to destroy the top leadership that could have an opportunity to give such an order? How is it possible technically?

The Perimeter system, known as the “Dead Hand” was put in operation in the USSR in 1985. In a nutshell, the system ensures the automatic launch of nuclear missiles in case of a nuclear attack against our country, even if there is no one left to be able to give such an order.

All the available data about the work of the system is served with such words as “probably,” “possibly,” and so on. No one knows how the system works exactly. In general, the Perimeter is a form of artificial intelligence that evaluates a multitude of factors about a nuclear attack on the basis of information received from radar stations, space satellites, seismic activity, etc.

Nuclear-capable missiles will thus be launched from silos, mobile launchers, strategic aircraft, submarines to strike pre-entered targets, unless there is no signal from the command center to cancel the attack. In general, even though there is little information available about the work of the Perimeter, one thing is known for sure: the doomsday machine is not a myth at all – it does exist.

The commander of the Strategic Missile Forces, Lieutenant-General Sergey Karakayev said five years ago in an interview with a Russian publication: “Yes, the “Perimeter” system exists. The system is on alert. If there’s a need for a retaliatory strike, the command for an attack may come from the system, not people,” the official said.

US experts analyzed the tactics and strategy of a nuclear attack on Russia. They acknowledged that the attack led to a massive nuclear exchange between the two countries that caused irreparable damage to the two states and claimed the lives of more than 400 million people.

  1. Let’s be frank, in The Age of Consequences . . .

    It really is just a matter of time.

    Perhaps the Perimeter, or Dead Hand, A.I. System also accounts for political statements, the posturings and threats and lies of politicians and diplomats.

    Believing what they say may also comprise a decision basis.
    After all, why not?

    The media is used to condition the public to forthcoming government policy, aims and intentions.
    Right now – 2019 – it appears very likely the US and British media is conditioning the public for a necessary and pre-emptive attack on China and Russia.

    “When war is inevitable, strike first” – attributed to Vlad Putin.
