Information for thought. Weapon of retaliation

Russia possesses the world's only weapon, which guarantees a retaliatory nuclear strike against the enemy, even nightmarish, if we have no one to take a decision on this strike. The unique system automatically counterattacks - and zhestoko.Predstavte a worst option. Peace, balance on the very brink of war, collapsed. Patience "Western democracies" exhausted, and the Soviet Union had suffered a pre-emptive nuclear strike. Deadly missile took off from the shaft launchers, submarine and aircraft. At the city and military targets attacked all the power of many thousands of warheads. And while the Soviet leadership in shock and panic sorted out what happened, do not mistake it, and how to remedy the situation - there was nothing left to fix. Major metropolitan, industrial and military centers, command posts and communications destroyed by a single massive blow. Mighty nuclear arsenal of the USSR simply did not have to use: command not received, and in the absence of the governing center of a dangerous rival, blind, and it is stationary. But at the very moment when the victorious generals of NATO raise their glasses, there is something unimaginable. Silent, it seemed, forever the enemy seemed to come to life. Thousands of rockets streamed into the side of the western countries - and the generals did not have time to finish a bottle of champagne, many of them, breaking through with such efforts built missile defense, razed cities, military bases, command centers. Nobody won. So the system worked "Perimeter", received in the Western press chilling title "dead hand", the last argument of the Soviet (and now - and Russia) state. Despite the large number and variety of fictional science fiction "doomsday machine» (Doomsday Machines), guaranteeing wages and any adversary can get and is guaranteed to destroy it, only the "Perimeter", apparently, there is real. However, the "Perimeter" - a system that is stored in such a closely guarded secret that its existence on some doubts, and all information about its composition and functions should be taken with a large grain of salt. So what do we know? System "Perimeter automatically starts a massive nuclear strike. It guarantees the start of ballistic missile submarine, air and silo-based in that case, if the enemy will be destroyed all the items that could order the retaliatory attack. It is completely independent from the other means of communication and command systems, even the notorious "nuclear briefcase" system "Kazbek". The system has been put on combat duty in 1985 and five years later upgraded, called the "Perimeter-RC, and served for more 5 years. Then, in the framework of the START-1 agreement, she was removed from duty - and her current condition is unknown. According to some data, it can again be "enabled" after the expiration of the START-1 (it will happen in December, 2009), and for others - she had already returned to operating condition. It is believed that the system works well. "Perimeter" is on permanent alert, it receives data from the tracking systems, including - and from the radar early warning of missile attack. Apparently, the system has its own independent command posts, nothing (seemingly) are indistinguishable from many similar items RVSN. According to some sources, such items have 4 pieces, they are dispersed over long distances and duplicate the functions of each other. In these paragraphs the most important works - and most secret - a component of "Perimeter", autonomous control and command system. It is believed that this is - a complex software system, created on the basis of artificial intelligence. Obtaining information about the negotiations on the air, the radiation field and other radiation in the control points, the information systems for early detection of launches, seismic activity, it is able to draw conclusions about the fact of a massive nuclear attack. If "the situation is ripe", the system itself is translated into a state of complete readiness. Now it needs the latter factor: the absence of regular signals from the normal command posts RVSN. If the signals are not received for some time - "Perimeter" runs Apokalipsis.Iz pits the will of the issued command missiles 15A11. Created on the basis of intercontinental missiles MR UR-100 (starting weight 71 tons, range up to 11 thousand miles, two-stage, liquid-jet engine), they have a special warhead. In itself it is harmless: it is - radio system, developed at the St. Petersburg Polytechnic. These missiles, climbing high into the air, flying over the territory of the country, broadcast the launching codes for all nuclear missile weapons. Those are also automatically. Imagine standing at the dock the submarine: almost the entire crew, who was on shore, already perished, and only a few bewildered sailors on watch on board. Suddenly, she comes alive. Without any outside interference, received from a strictly secret receivers signal to launch, a nuclear arsenal comes into motion. The same happens in immobilized shaft installations, and strategic aviation. Riposte is inevitable: too much, perhaps, add that the "perimeter" is designed to be particularly resistant to all the destructive factors of nuclear weapons. Securely bring it down almost impossible.
