Im currently building the hanger for the next generation of domesday planes. Its in dayton ohio for sierra nevada group. It's all public info if you google it. its going to be a emp hardened and structurally reinforced 747-8 .
How it gets reported and responded to: PAVE PAWS detect the ICBMs and record confidence. Radars and sensors must not be malfunctioning and show signatures consistent with ICBMs. If it’s consistent, confidence is considered “high”. They will always ask for if it is an exercise. But it is never considered an exercise, even if it is an actual exercise. PAVE PAWS report to NORAD. NORAD relays the confidence and confirms the results and relays it to the National Command Authority (President, VP, Joint Chiefs of Staff, etc). NCA gives info to DHS start coordinating emergency and evacuation procedures among the civilian populous, meanwhile, NCA gives SAC and Major Commands the orders. SAC/Command structures order scrambling of fighter aircraft, immediate response from B-52 bombers, nuclear submarines and ICBM stations. The Wings and such down the chain launch the nuclear triad and execute.
Had the distinct privilege of being a PRP-cleared EAM Officer (key holder) for SAS/PAL Red Rocket authentication in the late '70s. A TS/SCI (SIOP-ESI) w/codewords made for a great resumè builder.
Please, post 41 for freedom, post Trident 1/C4 operational induction, post operational availabilitly of Ohio boomers. Am guessing but its a educated guess there was at 95% confidence there was at least 7 to 9 boomers on hard patrol, maybe more in 1984 at any one time then. With most maybe 60% or more of said boomers on hard patrol tooled up with Trident 1 & all the rest tooled up with Posideon. That at least 1200 to 1700 nukes of which 60% had 50% CEP that could take out ICBM silos harden to 1,800 pounds per square inch or alternative be city killers in a counter value role. So a disarming first counter value strike could potenially take out all US ICBMs & B52/B1/B1B strategic bombers. However this is very unlikely, the US could playuse them or lose them. Even if the worse that could happen, actually did happen. More than 5 or 6 USN Boomers on hard patrol could give near all Ruskies sun tans they rather not have. Capiche Y'All, you can't be easily killed or tracked boomers on hard patrol covered by your SSNs & surface combantants mean a actual real disarming counter force first strike is impossible. Yo, you frakkers have deep secured nuclear superiority then in 1984 & still have it today even if the Ruskies could have 70 to 80% more nuclear warheads/weapons then you Yanks in 7 or 6 years from now. Because of your Boomers & SSN & surface combantants control of the blue waters. It highly resistant toa disarming first counter force strike. However the Russian have enough or much more than enough that will surive a first US counter force strike, not as deep a strategic nuclear capacity & capability as the Yanks but much more than enough to tie the Yanks to MAD. Over the next 7 or 8 years the Russian will narrow the gap btw extant US capabilities now over time for at least the next 7 or 8 years. 😊
This short 1979 movie was actually made by the Rand corporation in partner with the DOD because they were trying to get congress to approve funding for the MX Missile eventually it was built as the Peacekeeper. It had more of an effect in 1983 when it was used in the TV movie "The Day After" Ronald Reagan saw the movie he called the Soviet Leader and started talks to lower the amounts of nuclear weapons.
We would never give up.. At this time we have better launch detection and would have had all our weapons to use. There wouldn't be a scenario where this would catch us off guard
I went into the Air Force in 1983. We had several exercises like this. Got based overseas and we had High alert the whole time. This was real stuff then
2024 90 seconds to midnight but western news is keeping our heads in the sand. During Cuban missile crisis they were having nuclear drills 7 minutes until midnight. 1980s Cold War era peak films like The Day After, Treads, War Games etc making the world aware of the dangers of nuclear war. But 2024 nothing CNN and western media focusing on every little thing Trump does to distract from the real threat. Looking at media from europe and they are preparing for nuclear war with documents of nuclear war survival in Germany along with Eastern European fronts. Even the congressional vote approving conscription in 2025 for both men and women 18 to 26 was swept under the rug not covered by CNN. I am preparing for the worse and family and friends act out angry saying I am over reacting. I realize by their tone they don’t want to face the reality and quickly want to change the subject. All I am saying is prepare to live your basement for 6 weeks. Water, food, emergency gear and masks at leas N95 for indoor use as fallout can still get inside. Full face 3M P99 mask or military NBC masks if you can afford it. Call me a crazy proper or spend a couple of thousand preparing. It’s the survivors who have to worry. The USA is the least prepared fall out shelters are falling apart. ICBM from Russia can hit the USA in 30 minutes. Hypersonic missile from nuclear sub 15 minutes. I pray that Antone watching this video takes the threat serious
Good point... ground based silos are basically sponges to soak up the other side's nukes... Air force is too iffy because it can be intersepted... but those subs... they can refuse to fire... or they can fire way later
Until the Soviets developed the atom bomb in 1949, a first strike on the Soviet Union was planned with a tentative date of 1/1/57. The Soviet development of the atomic and hydrogen bombs put an end to that planned, and unnecessary, attack. Churchill even advised a war on the Soviet Union in 1945, with German divisions participating.
The chaos that exists in the world can be laid at the feet of the US. Who is constantly "poking the bear"? There's no way that Ukraine, which was a leading member of the USSR, is vital to our national security. As for Taiwan, it's part of China. No piece of real estate is worth a nuclear war.
WW3 will not use nukes in my opinion, I dont think they will ever be used again unless a mistake is made or a system failure causes it somehow. It will be a drone/air and sea war with A LOT of conventional bombs.
It's a little dated. We'll just have to imagine that the US generals are now Trans-Generals wearing wigs and pretty sun-dresses. The Minuteman missiles also need to be replaced with Strong Black Woman Missiles.
I was working at Kwaj in the late 70's and early 80's in charge of the SDR's on Legan and Gellinam. We "scored" the water and land impacts with the SDR (Splash Detection Radars). The beach crashes were the hardest to "score". You had to play the radar video tape over and over to see the change in the land scape on the beach. We did make a tour of Legan to view the crater the warhead made. Some of the debris went into the warehouse building just up from the beach.
who was the president that did NOT order retaliatory strike? Sure as hell was NOT Reagan!! US NAVY Ballistic Missile Subs would NOT have been lost at sea (oh, I forgot about that POS John Walker betraying our country. the ruskies shadowed a boomer that a friend of mine served on. No one understood how the ruskie could do that until the Walker spy ring was broke up and made public!)
No, he's completely rational. He's a far more capable leader than any president we have had, at least since JFK, who was taken out by the CIA when he talked of peaceful coexistence.
