Russia Revives Cold War-Era 'Dead Hand' Nuclear Retaliation System

An extensive investigation by multiple outlets reveals that Russia has reactivated and significantly expanded the 'Perimeter' system, also known as 'Dead Hand', a Cold War-era nuclear retaliation system designed to ensure Russia can still launch a nuclear strike even if its leadership and communications are compromised. The facility, located in the Ural Mountains, has been equipped with advanced ventilation, electricity, and air filtration systems to protect against chemical, biological, and radioactive contamination. The system is linked to a massive underground command center with at least 24 chambers, capable of housing buses, and is believed to be fully operational.
