And what this development is capable of “Life” explained, what is the peculiarity of the domestic system “Perimeter” and why it was created. Discuss
In fact, the “Perimeter” automatic combat control system (in 1985, when it was first launched, it was called “Barrier”) was designed back in the 70s of the last century. The equipment to control this system is said to be located in Mount Yamantau and well guarded. It is also believed that there are two or three huge computers that collect and analyze data from sensors located throughout Russia.
In the event of a nuclear attack by the United States and NATO, Perimeter will be able to strike back unexpectedly. To do this, first, information on the level of radiation in the area of the most important objects of the Russian Federation (the Kremlin, government, individual cities, etc.) will be collected and evaluated, and then the command of the entire system will be transferred to the officer on duty and the assistant chief of the General Staff (if the call is answered) or the president/defense minister/chief of staff. If no one answers, then the system will launch weapons and destroy the territory of the United States. In case of feedback from one of the listed persons, the system will be able to automatically shutdown (since those people were alive).
It is important that it will be impossible to stop the “Perimeter” at startup. Also, now this system has been updated, and its new control center has been equipped with a neural network. That is, in case of danger, she will act approximately like a living trained person. The time for the destruction of the enemy will be from 15 to 20 minutes.
In addition to all of the above, the Perimeter system can track sources of pronounced ionizing and electromagnetic radiation, seismic activity of the earth's crust, can quickly determine the presence of outsiders at the command post, and receive data from the missile forces posts strategic purpose and missile attack warning systems.
Americans learned about the system after perestroika from one of the defectors from Russia. They called this system “Dead Hand”. Until now, the United States has no analogues of the Russian Perimeter system. In addition, the Strategic Missile Forces databank may contain at least a thousand targets located in NATO countries and the States.
