There’s at least some speculation that UVB-76 could be part of a Russian Doomsday machine. It makes this rf activity slightly less amusing to me.

- picture 5y agoFrom what I recall there's been things like talking voices and downtime on the Buzzer so there's also at least some speculation that it's not part of Dead Hand or anything.. possibilities are open
- mhh__ 5y agoI highly doubt it's connected to any Cobalt-Thorium G. What's more likely is them parking the frequency for if they need it.
- justsomehnguy 5y agoIt would be a very bad Doomsday Machine if taking out one radio station would trigger it.
- gambiting 5y agoSure, but a system like that would most likely require multiple independent variables to trigger - it there is no broadcast from Kremlin, if there is no broadcast from the military command, if all the satellites are offline or if they are broadcasting an all out launch sequence, AND the buzzer is off....then trigger the system. It wouldn't be just one radio station.
- chiph 5y agoThat's supposedly a criteria for British subs to launch their missiles. If the BBC is off the air (and a bunch of other things have happened), the captain is authorized to launch in retaliation as the assumption is that the UK no longer exists.
- anfilt 5y agoConsidering, when reading about this station it has been taken down intentionally before, had periods of being offline, and also offline when the station was moved once before it's quite unlikely.
