What Is Russia's 'Dead Hand?'

[@BiggPhillips]

Funny how the USA and NATO talk about Russian aggression with more than 120 bases surrounding Russia while Russia doesn't have any bases surrounding the USA. So who is really aggressive ?

[@metallsnubben]

The actual answer would be everyone... :(

[@andezong9565]

To be fair, a lot of countries ask for our protection and such

[@andezong9565]

Plus, unless there's some tyrannical North Korean-like country in North America, what's the point of having foreign bases near or on American soil?

[@neocon70]

Were the "little green men" who invaded Crimea American troops? Nope, they are Russian. Are the foreign troops in South Ossetia who occupy the sovereign nation of Georgia American troops? Nope, they are Russian. Are the foreign troops in Transnistria who occupy the sovereign nation of Moldova American troops? Nope, they are Russian. Russian imperialism is what makes counties join NATO.

"ask for our protection" Then why get pissed when commies put nukes in Cuba, in a direct response to you putting nukes in Turkey etc.

[@killman369547]

the dead hand is basically a statement saying "even if you completely cripple us with a first strike, even if you take out the entire chain of command, we can still hit you back" nowadays the system reportedly even monitors for life in every ICBM launch complex and will fire the missiles completely automatically if a crew is killed incapacitated or refuses to follow the order. basically the entire process from the detection of a nuclear blast to ICBM's lifting off can be done without a single human being around at all

"Can the system still be active?" - Yes, and even I have no idea how to turn it off. Developer interview 2009 System "Perimeter" (the index of the ASU RVSN - 15Э601, in Western Europe and the United States known as the English. Dead Hand, literally "Dead hand") - a complex of automatic control of a massive retaliatory nuclear strike, created in the USSR at the height of the cold war and used by Russia until now. Designed to ensure that bringing military orders from senior management (General staff of the Armed forces, Management of RVSN) to command posts and a separate strategic launchers missiles, standing on alert in case of emergency when communication lines may be damaged. "Perimeter" is an alternative command system for all the armed forces, which are armed with nuclear warheads. It was created as a backup communications system, in case the key nodes of the command system "Kazbek" and the communication lines of the strategic missile forces will be destroyed by the first strike in accordance with the concept of Limited nuclear war developed in the United States. To ensure that its role is guaranteed, the system was originally designed to be fully automatic and, in the event of a massive attack, is capable of deciding on an adequate response on its own, without (or with minimal) human involvement. The existence of such a system is sometimes called immoral, but it is in fact the only deterrent that gives real guarantees of the rejection of a potential enemy from the concept of a crushing pre-emptive strike. The logic of Perimeter's actions involved the regular collection and processing of a gigantic amount of information. From all sorts of sensors came a variety of information. For example, the status of communication lines with a higher command post: there is a connection - no connection. On the radiation situation in the surrounding area: normal radiation level - increased radiation level. On the presence of people at the starting position: there are people - there are no people. About registered nuclear explosions and so on and so forth. Perimeter had the ability to analyze changes in the military and political situation in the world - the system evaluated the commands received over a period of time, and on this basis could conclude that something is wrong in the world. When the system thought its time had come, it activated and launched a command to prepare for the launch of the missiles. At the same time, the system could not begin active operations in peacetime. Even if there was no communication, even if the entire combat crew had left the starting position, there were still a lot of other parameters that would block the operation of the system. In addition, it blocked single launches, without confirmation from the command center and could cancel the launch without seeing a threat. After the order received from the higher levels of the RVSN control to a special command post, the command missile 15P011 is launched with a special head part 15B99, which in flight transmits commands to start all PU and command points of the RVSN, having the appropriate receivers. Another proposed version of the system-when receiving information about the first signs of a missile attack, the commander-in-chief puts the system into combat mode. After that, if within a certain time (about 15 minutes) the command post of the system does not receive a signal to stop the combat algorithm, then the command missiles are launched. It is also possible that the prototype of the system was the OGAS system. The national automated system of accounting and information processing (OGAS) is a project of the system of automated management of the USSR economy based on the principles of Cybernetics, which includes a computer network connecting data collection centers located in all regions of the country. As we can see SKYNET was not alone)

[@calculon000]

@@eleanormcarthur2900 In short, Russia's 'Dead Hand' system isn't any more or less dangerous than when this video was released, but the risk Russia might **intentionally** use nuclear weapons is much higher. The system is still only really at risk of going off when it's not supposed to under conditions where there's already a nuclear war anyway. Right now, we're much more at risk of Russia **intentionally** using nuclear weapons if its current invasion of Ukraine escalates to a war with NATO. Russia's current aggression makes it so the greatest risk of nukes actually being used by them would be in the form of battlefield nukes they would use in Ukraine if they continued to be bogged down there and thought they could get away with it without a nuclear response from NATO.

In fact, it was not, but is. That is, it has been actively modernized today and in recent years. And you are mistaken for a total of 15 minutes. The network has been working around the clock for several decades and this system is fully automated and does not need people, since it has a system similar to artificial intelligence. As for objectivity, this network cannot be called imperceptible. If you do not know, Pentium processors and Intel developed their processors after the collapse of the USSR and are basically Soviet simplified Elbrus processors. And the Russian specialists who worked in the defense developments of the USSR and Russia, now work in the company intel.

It was never called "MERTVAYA RUKA" by Russians. It was called the "Death hand" by the US media. The correct Russia designation is "Perimetr" (guess what is means in English) or 15Э601. It is just an alternative launch command relay. The US had a similar system: AN/DRC-8.

It was the Pershing II missile system that precipitated the development of Perimetr (aka "dead hand" to the west) The Pershing II was a near hypersonic medium range nuclear ballistic missile that would be able to hit moscow from western europe before the chain of command would have enough time to respond, which spurred the soviets to develop a way to retaliate against a decapitation strike.

[@jakubhorsky1948]

yes

[@DrYeet2704]

In essence, yes. It's much like a train driver's dead man switch - they "arm" the system when they press it down with their arm/hand, and this releases the emergency brakes (in the context of Perimetr, it triggers a command to the many seismological, barometric and radiological sensors across the Russian Federation to start reporting their data back to their nearest "hub", which will then report to a "hub" that manages a group of hubs, which will report to a regional hub which would report to the nearest city and to Moscow). The emergency brakes are activated when the switch is no longer pressed (so the Perimetr system sends a signal that tells the hubs and sensors to stop reporting - if the switch was intentionally released (the system was turned off) - or it triggers a signal send that launches those command missiles that communicate to the silos and their respective warheads to launch - if the switch was released because of driver incapacitation (the Soviet command structure was wiped out) ).

Given the advances in global monitoring systems, the S400 and S500 Russian defense systems and their possession of hypersonic missiles it's easily possible (probably) they can detect 'belligerent' activity by the US within seconds of a launch (which would probably be in Europe) That might mean the destruction of the first launched missiles that are close to the Russian border and the virtually simultaneous annihilation of those launch sites and the military command and control centres of those nations. Additionally, Russian Military Defence are totally aware that weapons in the EU are ONLY launched under the direct command of the USA ... so, undoubtedly they will have a pre-arranged a 'mirror image' response onto US territory. The USA expect (and it will never happen this way) that Russia could be duped into staging a wipeout of Europe which they (US) would then use to justify an (allegedly) pre-emptive first strike nuclear attack against targets in Russia... Time to have some Russian hypersonic missiles on Cuba, Venezuela perhaps ? Level the threat more openly ... let the American people become more aware of the direct results of allowing their government to be so aggressive?

isn't this why we have nuclear submarines? the whole "a nuke above water won't kill a sub beneath it" shtick?

[@axelasdf]

It's known as the Nuclear Triad. Bombers, missiles in hardened facilities, and bomber palnes.

[@S3anyBoy]

NATO forces call it the "Trident" but the Russian have a 4-pronged system (a Quadrant if you will); subs, hardened bunkers, bombers, and mobile missile trucks (RT-2PM Topol).

[@schwartzhoffsteven]

The Soviets did not really have an effective nuclear triad since their bombers were never really as effective as the US due to simple geography (US bombers could lauch and land in multiple neighboring countries while the Soviets only had Cuba, plus a along flight over Canada). Also, the US openly talked about decapitation strikes on Soviet leadership which could také only 12 minute from bases in Europe leaving them only 5 minutes warning to decide to launch through normal government procedures. That is probably why the Dead Hand appealed to the Soviets more than the Americans who had thought about the idea but dropped it due to the obvious drawbacks. The US had better options and the resources to develop them, as well as the luxury of a probable 20 minutes warning :-)

the dead hand is based on Russian fears that America has a strong desire to kill them with a nuclear strike, and I cannot remember one single day after Hiroshima , that the USA made the slightest effort to calm such dangerous fears.

Hello!PLEASE read to the end!Just want to say that I'm 17,I live in Russia and for writing this review, I used the Google translator so some phrases you will likely not understand! Watched your video and there was an impression that you are specifically not saying that US nuclear missiles were located in Estonia,Latvia,Lithuania,Norway,Finland.Equipment which could detect missiles were located in Japan and of course in those countries where the US missiles I want to say that such equipment was in Alaska.SDI you are told how it was going to destroy the missiles belonging to the USSR,if you meant other missiles,I want you to afflict-they simply will not be able to catch up.A concentrated beam of light "Laser" this is all nonsense,fantasy and nothing more.Enough equipment which like you said could destroy missiles aimed toward the United States could not be accommodated in the space on one carrier,even in the case that it will fit there,we must not forget that the Earth is round and can await the time when this the media will be in a worse position.That's all that struck me as odd in your story about the actions of the United States.As for the Soviet Union want to correct You by saying that one of the engineers who created the "Perimeter" after creating this system and making it on Board told the media about her he did it because the system needs to deter the US from a nuclear strike.After the United States learned about it they came up with to raise in the air a few bombers which, in the case of a strike on the US would retaliate,they flew over your base or over the state or over the whole of America,landed,refueled and went up again into the air.The complex "Perimeter" as the developer said, this is one rocket that went up in the air on the orders of the transducers which were in the Soviet Union,they measured the air temperature,the quality of mobile communication,seismic activity,pressure and many others factors.Missiles of the USSR were only in Cuba,sensors tracking enemy missiles, too, were only in Cuba.The sensors operated completely independently and after launch it already, nothing could have stopped as the missiles which were launched by it. In the end I want to say that the missiles which were raised at the call of the system "Perimeter" applied nuclear and conventional strikes not only in USA but in other countries with which relations were bad.Correct me if I'm lied to somewhere!Thanks for reading to the end!

"Can the system still be active?" - Yes, and even I have no idea how to turn it off. Developer interview 2009 System "Perimeter" (the index of the ASU RVSN - 15Э601, in Western Europe and the United States known as the English. Dead Hand, literally "Dead hand") - a complex of automatic control of a massive retaliatory nuclear strike, created in the USSR at the height of the cold war and used by Russia until now. Designed to ensure that bringing military orders from senior management (General staff of the Armed forces, Management of RVSN) to command posts and a separate strategic launchers missiles, standing on alert in case of emergency when communication lines may be damaged. "Perimeter" is an alternative command system for all the armed forces, which are armed with nuclear warheads. It was created as a backup communications system, in case the key nodes of the command system "Kazbek" and the communication lines of the strategic missile forces will be destroyed by the first strike in accordance with the concept of Limited nuclear war developed in the United States. To ensure that its role is guaranteed, the system was originally designed to be fully automatic and, in the event of a massive attack, is capable of deciding on an adequate response on its own, without (or with minimal) human involvement. The existence of such a system is sometimes called immoral, but it is in fact the only deterrent that gives real guarantees of the rejection of a potential enemy from the concept of a crushing pre-emptive strike. The logic of Perimeter's actions involved the regular collection and processing of a gigantic amount of information. From all sorts of sensors came a variety of information. For example, the status of communication lines with a higher command post: there is a connection - no connection. On the radiation situation in the surrounding area: normal radiation level - increased radiation level. On the presence of people at the starting position: there are people - there are no people. About registered nuclear explosions and so on and so forth. Perimeter had the ability to analyze changes in the military and political situation in the world - the system evaluated the commands received over a period of time, and on this basis could conclude that something is wrong in the world. When the system thought its time had come, it activated and launched a command to prepare for the launch of the missiles. At the same time, the system could not begin active operations in peacetime. Even if there was no communication, even if the entire combat crew had left the starting position, there were still a lot of other parameters that would block the operation of the system. In addition, it blocked single launches, without confirmation from the command center and could cancel the launch without seeing a threat. After the order received from the higher levels of the RVSN control to a special command post, the command missile 15P011 is launched with a special head part 15B99, which in flight transmits commands to start all PU and command points of the RVSN, having the appropriate receivers. Another proposed version of the system-when receiving information about the first signs of a missile attack, the commander-in-chief puts the system into combat mode. After that, if within a certain time (about 15 minutes) the command post of the system does not receive a signal to stop the combat algorithm, then the command missiles are launched. It is also possible that the prototype of the system was the OGAS system. The national automated system of accounting and information processing (OGAS) is a project of the system of automated management of the USSR economy based on the principles of Cybernetics, which includes a computer network connecting data collection centers located in all regions of the country. As we can see SKYNET was not alone)
