The heat produced by the missiles when launched melt down the silos to the point that in order to repair it , they would have to dig out the silo which is long as fuck so they'll have to dig for like a month and then take the whole silo apart and then rebuild the thing and then put it back in the soil and then again put all of the mud on it and then make sure it's solid. Basically you just spent twice the amount of money refitting the used silo for another use when you could've built a new one at half of the price of the repair . Soo why would they bother repairing it? Plus if the site is noticed , it's game over for it anyways, soo why would you repair a site that has been spotted already

In the Air Force we maintained a communication system call SACCS. It was at every SAC command post, base, and launch facility (part of it can be seen in this video). My system was at a SAC bomber base. After the alert bombers are in the air, the base has completed its mission. We then await the command to start emergency destruction. We had a board dedicated for that with axes, sledge hammers, and such. We practiced breaking/burning up critical pieces/documents of our equipment (ironically what we worked hard to keep active) and scatter the pieces. After that we were on our own... grab a girl and go out with a bang... we were on the Soviet's first strike list. There was that one time I set the whole base to DEFCON 1. I was in the squadron job control where we dispatch communication crews 24/7. It was 3 AM (03 : 00) and I was checking out the board that had switches and lights for the DEFCON settings. I was told they turn on lights in the commanders office. Being 3 AM and in charge of quarters when the commander or a senior officer is not present, I started to turn the knobs just to see how they worked. Less than a minute later the phone lines lit up. It was the command post, the tower, and combat crew facilities calling to confirm if we really are at DEFCON 1. I can hear the base klaxon and alarms on the phone. I said, stand down, we are having trouble with the alert board, I wiggled the knobs back and forth a bit and put them back at DEFCON 4 (we were not at 5 at the time). I said how's that... relieved, they canceled the alert. Nobody told me it turned on lights in ALL of the commanders offices on base! Lucky for me they didn't get to the point to fire up the bombers.

Absolutely. Once American ICBM launches, Russian defense satellites will detect these launches and then "Perimeter" will be automatically activated with a short countdown that can either be interrupted by Moscow, or they can immediately order a counterattack. Perimeter is a dead man switch system to ensure that the US are destroyed regardless whatever else happens. When Perimeter is triggered a number of special radio transponder equipped missiles will launch and fly over the entire Russian Federation broadcasting attack orders. There are other ways the launch orders will be distributed but the missiles are there as a safeguard should the enemy disrupt these other ways. RVSN, the Russian strategic missile force, they will be in their silos, authenticating their launch orders, entering their launch codes and then turning their keys and nowadays fifteen minutes and less Washington will be reduced to a radioactive fireball brighter than a thousand suns. Now that the new generation of Sarmat-2 "Satan-2" missiles are entering service with RVSN, these hypersonic warheads are unstoppable. There is a good reason that the service motto of RVSN is "Posle nas, tishina". After us, silence.

@Erich Klein What Japan did to POWs was inexcusable, but they were military targets. Pearl Harbour was an attack on military assets. Are you aware that Korean labourers and American POWs were killed in Hiroshima? Also do you think killing labourers who are helping the war effort is excusable? Often during wartime helping the war effort becomes the only mass jobs available so people are forced into those positions, just as Japanese citizens would have been. Equating lower class Japanese citizens forced into roles of labour for wartime efforts to soldiers is disgusting. Again, im not saying what the Japanese did to POWs is excusable at all, in fact Japan is guilty of some of the most heinous war crimes the Earth has seen. Atomic weapons may have been a necessary evil to end the war but they take thousands of lives and leave cities uninhabitable for years. Its sad that countries are forced to have a nuclear arsenal purely as a deterrent now.

@@danielorourke2542 Unfortunately, there is a good chance that this would result in a nuclear war regardless of not knowing who threw the first punch, so to speak. Successfully smuggling a nuclear weapon into the country and into the target location is also a somewhat implausible method for carrying out a first strike. What if the target country's intelligence services found out who the aggressor was? It would surely retaliate by launching its own nukes, and the result would yet again be nuclear war. The only plausible way to "win" at nuclear war is to launch a successful "decapitation strike", taking out the enemy government leadership (which would only delay retaliation, not prevent it), as well as every single one of their of their missile launch sites and SSBNs (which, given the reality of modern submarine warfare, is virtually impossible). Even then, you would likely still have to contend with incoming enemy aircraft carrying nuclear weapons. In the future, the most important game changer for nuclear warfare will be missile defense systems. Current day missile-based defense systems are not capable of defeating anywhere near 100% of incoming nuclear weapons, particularly when faced with MIRV-equipped warheads. High powered lasers have the potential to be used as ground and air based installations, or even as Orbital defense platforms, and could eventually provide a much more efficient and capable defense against incoming nuclear missiles and warheads.

Our complete and utter annihilation lies in these facilities and all it takes is ONE person to decide to launch and 2 to follow the order, then everything you’ve ever known or would have known is gone.
