Russia Reactivates 'Dead Hand' Nuclear Retaliation System
Russia has reportedly reactivated its 'Dead Hand' system for retaliatory nuclear strikes. The Sunday Times reports that a secret underground complex, 'Object 1335', linked to the Soviet-era 'Perimeter' system in the Ural Mountains has been expanded and is now fully operational again. Its purpose is to ensure the transmission of a retaliatory strike order even after a large-scale attack on Russia.5 sourcesSee all sources
