Doomsday Devices: The Endgame of Nuclear War world war 3

Did you know that during the Cold War, the Soviet Union had a plan to create a "doomsday device" called the Dead Hand? This device would automatically launch all of their nuclear weapons if a nuclear strike was detected. But why did they need such a device in the first place?

In this video, we explore the history and significance of the Dead Hand. We delve into the Soviet Union's extreme concern about the possibility of a surprise nuclear attack from the United States and their belief that the Dead Hand would act as a deterrent. We also answer some burning questions such as, did the Dead Hand ever actually get used? What happened to the Dead Hand after the Soviet Union dissolved? And, are there any other countries that have similar "doomsday devices" in place?

Join us on this fascinating journey as we take a closer look at the Dead Hand and its role in the Cold War arms race.
