Russia has the world's most powerful missiles and nuclear weapons. russia has a huge stockpile of nuclear missiles. But today we will talk about that mysterious and dangerous weapon of russia, hearing the name of which the powerful countries of the world tremble. Let's know what is the name of that weapon and what is its specialty.
This is the world's dangerous weapon
Russia has the Dead Hand System which is known as Perimeter in Russia. This is such an automatic atomic attack system, which has the ability to destroy the enemy country without any human intervention. It has the power to destroy the enemy till the last breath. This is the reason why it is considered the most dangerous weapon in the world.
Features of Dead Hand
Dead Hand is an automatic nuclear counter-attack system, which was developed by the Soviet Union in the 1980s. Its purpose was to secure Russia's nuclear power in such a way that if a country like America launches a first nuclear attack on russia and its entire leadership or command chain is destroyed, then also this system can automatically retaliate. In simple words, it is a machine that can take 'revenge till death'.
How does this system work?
The Dead Hand system is equipped with state-of-the-art sensors, which catch the signals of a nuclear attack. These sensors monitor seismic activities, radiation levels, air pressure and disruptions in the communication network. If these sensors confirm that there has been a nuclear attack on russia and no counter command is coming, then this system is automatically activated. After this, a special command missile is launched, which orders the launch of all the nuclear weapons of russia through radio signals. These missiles target the major military bases and cities of America and its allied countries.
Is it still active?
Russia has never officially acknowledged that the Dead Hand is still active, but in 2011 Russian commander Sergei Karakayev confirmed its existence. Experts believe that it has been further modernized, which can use AI and satellite data. Recently, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev warned US President donald trump about this, which further increased global tensions.
Why is it dangerous?
The Dead Hand is also called the 'Doomsday Device'. If it gets activated due to technical glitch or wrong signal, the whole world can be in the grip of nuclear war.
