NATO needs to strike first. Pre-emptive nuclear strikes to take out the invaders ability to continue their aggression.

Research: "Russian dead hand system."
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 84178178


Russia's 'Dead Hand' Is a Soviet-Built Nuclear Doomsday Device


In a crisis that might mean a first strike from the United States, high-ranking government officials or military commanders could activate the Perimeter. Perimeter would guarantee that the Soviet Union (and now, Russia) could respond even if its entire armed forces were wiped out.

Once switched on, the Perimeter system can launch the entire Russian nuclear arsenal in response to a nuclear attack. It was part of the Cold War doctrine of mutually assured destruction, a means of deterring nuclear attacks by ensuring the side who initiated a first strike also would be annihilated.

Called "Dead Hand" in the West, the theory is that a command and control system measures communications on military frequencies, radiation levels, air pressure, heat and short-term seismic disturbances. If the measurement points to a nuclear attack, the Perimeter begins a sequence that would end in the firing of all ICBMs in the Soviet (now, Russian) arsenal.

Perimeter would launch a command rocket, tipped with a radio warhead that transmits launch orders to Russian nuclear silos, even with the presence of radio jamming. The rocket would fly across the entire length of the country. After a number of test launches to prove the viability of such a command rocket, the Perimeter system went online in 1985.

Sounds pretty silly. They launch a missle across the country to tell all the silos to launch. The crews still have to fuel and prep the missles. I guess the only automation is the launch of the “communication missle”.

That’s on a level of Dr Evil kind of stupid, but something to use as propaganda I guess.

If it gets to the point that they turn Perimeter on, the missiles will already be fueled.
