Thankful chose Tactical over SAGE (former 27670)

I recently read a book on the B52 and they pointed out that, during much of the cold war, the US had a number of nuclear armed aircraft in flight at all times within a few moments striking distance of Soviet targets. I suspect a similar operational scenario was in place for the SSBN fleet (far less detectable). Although the portrayed scenario was possible, I consider it's success to the enemies advantage, to have been far less likely than indicated.

they open the clacker box at 17.14 and at 20.44 its relocked. is that the analog way to turn off the clacking?

having a outside line to the outside in the missle silo comand post is unbelivable. when the alarm rings no you hang up first, no you, aw screwit your vaporised in 5

Behold, man’s most stupid and destructive invention.

And who really wins?

Cease Fire? What a cowardly President! That would not happen unless Joe Biden was the president

The third world war is inevitable its not if but when, mankind cannot help itself when it comes to violence,we shall eventually and alternately destroy ourselves😢😢😢😢

You laughed when Biden's military allowed Chinese "weather baloons" to fly over the entire country. Keep laughing and voting blue you🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

If we put this much energy and money into protecting this planet, as we do into destroying this planet, imagine the world we would have.

Love how the General is so laid back.

The narrator sounds like Kevin Spacey, which makes sense since you could say what we're witnessing here is Advanced Warfare

Super very serious subject matter.

😂😂😂this shit os worse writen than GT2..😂😂😂this not only never existed...but they are wors script a regizor ever made..probably a kid😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂..hwo is idiot enough to belive all this shit?😂😂😂😂😂

SAC Commander Major General Clarence Reuben Autery

I danas jedan sajber udar napravi vise stete nego nuklearni udar.....

The public at large has no idea what those troops did or had to go through. We were safer with MAD and less safer with Mr. Bush I and Mr. Clinton.

This was fear mongering and propaganda even then.

taking to long to launch missiles

4:00 he is announcing that there is a new movie out there, Up in smoke!

GBSD is garbage.Bring back peacekeeper.

Just like Joe Biden was he the president by any chance to call cease-fire

This can't be real. We lost.

General: Do you have your key? I’m sorry sir. I left it at home

Convair F-106 Delta Dart is the aircraft at 12:14 I think

Didn't this movie have Matthew Broderick in it? (I'm kidding but it reminded me a lot of War Games)

This is probably what happened to Mars! 😢

I don't care we all gonna die. General ripper will save us and our natural essence.

Im currently building the hanger for the next generation of domesday planes. Its in dayton ohio for sierra nevada group. It's all public info if you google it. its going to be a emp hardened and structurally reinforced 747-8 .

BBC 3 part special from 40 years ago was much more realistic. As a former MM1 LCC the BBC scenario is never far from my mind 😢

The audio on this video sucks Canal water

I will pay 1 dollar for someone to transcribe and read aloud , " from Hiroshima to the moon " .

CAMP DAVID IS THAT WERE GRAHAM NORTON GO ON HOLIDAY?

SOMEONE FARTED AT 3:08 OR WAS IT THE PLANE OR THE FILM CREW

Our Damm military better fight back if this ever happened. And our in a case like that the president is a chicken sick

Watching this after the Trump Vs Biden CNN Debate 2024 If Biden is re-installed this may well be our future. VOTE TRUMP TO STOP NUCLEAR WAR

How it gets reported and responded to: PAVE PAWS detect the ICBMs and record confidence. Radars and sensors must not be malfunctioning and show signatures consistent with ICBMs. If it’s consistent, confidence is considered “high”. They will always ask for if it is an exercise. But it is never considered an exercise, even if it is an actual exercise. PAVE PAWS report to NORAD. NORAD relays the confidence and confirms the results and relays it to the National Command Authority (President, VP, Joint Chiefs of Staff, etc). NCA gives info to DHS start coordinating emergency and evacuation procedures among the civilian populous, meanwhile, NCA gives SAC and Major Commands the orders. SAC/Command structures order scrambling of fighter aircraft, immediate response from B-52 bombers, nuclear submarines and ICBM stations. The Wings and such down the chain launch the nuclear triad and execute.

well this aged well. FJB!

Had the distinct privilege of being a PRP-cleared EAM Officer (key holder) for SAS/PAL Red Rocket authentication in the late '70s. A TS/SCI (SIOP-ESI) w/codewords made for a great resumè builder.

Please, post 41 for freedom, post Trident 1/C4 operational induction, post operational availabilitly of Ohio boomers. Am guessing but its a educated guess there was at 95% confidence there was at least 7 to 9 boomers on hard patrol, maybe more in 1984 at any one time then. With most maybe 60% or more of said boomers on hard patrol tooled up with Trident 1 & all the rest tooled up with Posideon. That at least 1200 to 1700 nukes of which 60% had 50% CEP that could take out ICBM silos harden to 1,800 pounds per square inch or alternative be city killers in a counter value role. So a disarming first counter value strike could potenially take out all US ICBMs & B52/B1/B1B strategic bombers. However this is very unlikely, the US could playuse them or lose them. Even if the worse that could happen, actually did happen. More than 5 or 6 USN Boomers on hard patrol could give near all Ruskies sun tans they rather not have. Capiche Y'All, you can't be easily killed or tracked boomers on hard patrol covered by your SSNs & surface combantants mean a actual real disarming counter force first strike is impossible. Yo, you frakkers have deep secured nuclear superiority then in 1984 & still have it today even if the Ruskies could have 70 to 80% more nuclear warheads/weapons then you Yanks in 7 or 6 years from now. Because of your Boomers & SSN & surface combantants control of the blue waters. It highly resistant toa disarming first counter force strike. However the Russian have enough or much more than enough that will surive a first US counter force strike, not as deep a strategic nuclear capacity & capability as the Yanks but much more than enough to tie the Yanks to MAD. Over the next 7 or 8 years the Russian will narrow the gap btw extant US capabilities now over time for at least the next 7 or 8 years. 😊

does any one know the general area where they dug the sites for mx?

"Retaliation" is STUPID. STRIKE FIRST.

Kinda BS. The subs at sea would not have been lost and they would have retaliated.

How many came here after hearing the missile attack over Crimea and Russia stating that we will be held accountable.

Why there is always a thougt that russians wants to kill all of america? Shouldnt lady gaga do this?

That was cool! Luckily our Navy would've kicked arse with an insane number of extremely accurate nukes! Great movie though!

This short 1979 movie was actually made by the Rand corporation in partner with the DOD because they were trying to get congress to approve funding for the MX Missile eventually it was built as the Peacekeeper. It had more of an effect in 1983 when it was used in the TV movie "The Day After" Ronald Reagan saw the movie he called the Soviet Leader and started talks to lower the amounts of nuclear weapons.

We would never give up.. At this time we have better launch detection and would have had all our weapons to use. There wouldn't be a scenario where this would catch us off guard

I went into the Air Force in 1983. We had several exercises like this. Got based overseas and we had High alert the whole time. This was real stuff then

This is a thunderbolt 1003 siren, I wouldn't exactly call it a klaxon siren because klaxon didn't manufacture these
