Russia Says It Has Restored Dead Hand Nuclear Retaliation System
Original: Russia Has Restored the Perimeter Retaliatory Nuclear Strike System, The Sunday Times Says
Russia has restored its Perimeter system, a retaliatory nuclear strike mechanism that would launch automatically if leadership were decapitated, according to a report by The Sunday Times cited by SFG Media. The so-called 'Dead Hand' system is one of Moscow's most secretive nuclear assets, and confirmation of its restoration would signal Russia's readiness to guarantee retaliation even under a decapitation strike.
Why now: Reports of an automatic nuclear retaliation system being restored heighten fears about escalation risks amid the ongoing tensions over Ukraine.
