As a special defense system that will be buried with the whole world once triggered, the Russian army's dead hand system is so terrifying that it still makes the United States fearful. Once the dead hand system is activated, What does it mean?

What is the dead hand system? That was the emergency response equipment and plan set up by Soviet engineers in case all the leaders of the country were killed in the future before they could issue a nuclear retaliation plan. After all the Soviet leaders lost contact for a period of time, the Dead Hand system would default to all the leaders of the country. The United States will be wiped out by a nuclear strike, thus launching all the remaining nuclear weapons of the Soviet Union. Under the premise that the AI cannot detect which country will attack the Soviet leadership, this automated system will only launch all the countries with nuclear weapons. This will directly trigger a nuclear chain, causing other countries around the world that also possess nuclear weapons to trigger a mutual nuclear strike mechanism of "mutually assured destruction."

This kind of relative nuclear strike mechanism of "mutually assured destruction" triggered by multiple countries at the same time will mean that the world's major nuclear-armed countries will launch various destructive weapons against each other, leading to all Humanity will all face an existential crisis, and now Russia, as a country that has inherited most of the Soviet Union's legacy, is likely to have also inherited this "dead hand system" from the Soviet Union, and Russia has also inherited the Soviet Union's huge nuclear arsenal. Under the premise that if this fully automated nuclear retaliation mechanism is triggered, its terrifying lethality will not be much lower than the similar system owned by the Soviet Union. This is why after the military conflict broke out between Russia and Ukraine , the United States and other NATO countries made it clear that they would not let their military forces intervene in the war between Ukraine and Russia, and they repeatedly emphasized that because of the If military force enters the war between Russia and Ukraine, it will mean that Russia is likely to use nuclear weapons to carry out nuclear strikes against Western countries participating in this war. Moreover, since Russia is likely to inherit the Soviet Union's stubborn defense system . This means that the use of nuclear weapons to decapitate Moscow will also become a completely unfeasible tactic: if the Russian leadership is completely wiped out due to decapitation operations by Western countries, it will most likely trigger the activation rules of the Dead Hand system , and allow it to automatically order Russia's strategic rocket force and ballistic missile submarine force to directly launch all the nuclear weapons they possess.

Especially under the premise that the international situation has become extremely tense, the Dead Hand system will inevitably be fully activated with the high activity of the Russian Strategic Rocket Force. As long as the Dead Hand system is deployed to the sensor reception in Russia If this country encounters a nuclear attack and does not receive a safety signal from high-level Russian officials within the specified time, it will launch a second nuclear strike against the designated country based on its authorization. The Dead Hand system, as the top priority of the Russian military, level of secrets, it will not only be well hidden, but also have protection designs and defense mechanisms against spies, saboteurs, and nuclear strikes in designated areas. Therefore, it is even more difficult to destroy the Dead Hand system than It is even more difficult for top Russian officials to carry out serial assassinations. No wonder Western countries are unwilling to involve their military forces in the war between Russia and Ukraine, especially after Russia used its nuclear warning, because such interference is likely to mean the outbreak of a nuclear war.
