Russia has a nuclear triad. Unless all of their submarines were in port and taken out during the attack, there’d be no way to prevent them from losing all three delivery mechanisms simultaneously.

- rcxdude 1y agoPutin has very carefully put himself in the position that his death would cause a very chaotic power vacuum in Russia (to the detriment or at least risk of almost everyone), to dissuade any would-be assassins.
- lostmsu 1y ago> very chaotic power vacuum in Russia How is having chaotic power vacuum in any way worse than having Putin?
- slt2021 1y agorussia has dead hand system, any attack on putin will trigger the dead hand. most importantly USA doesn't want putin dead, because his next successor could be smarter and more brutal
- drysine 1y ago>any attack on putin will trigger the dead hand of course not
- addandsubtract 1y agoWho would this dead hand attack even target? Wat?
- slt2021 1y agoLondon Paris Berlin and USA. Russia has 6000 warheads, so each western city and each silo and bunker can be targeted with more than one warhead
- wltr 1y agoDo they? Your sources are what, Russians saying they have 6 thousands warheads? Well, yeah, the last time they tested something to scare everyone, their scary missile did not work. I expect most of their warheads in the state of being dysfunctional. It’s a paper tiger, it’s not China, it’s a fake state, a failed one. A mafia covered as a state. Also, do they invest enough to keep it working? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44165277 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44165277 So, which 6,000 are you talking about?
- Braxton1980 1y agoAre you sure? >because his next successor could be smarter and more brutal Why would they? Putin's actions, imo, seemed to be able rebuilding the greatness of the ussr, he's former KGB. Maybe the next person would just be happy with power over one of the largest countries in the world. Plus the end of the war would make him quite popular with the general public
- lostmsu 1y agoThat's not how dead hand works. It is designed to respond to a nuclear attack, not to a leader assassination.
- leosarev 1y agoActually, both. Perimeter dead hand system algorithm: 1. If perimeter have been activated 2. AND there is nuclear explosion at russian territory 3. AND there is no connection to commander-in-chief THAN release launch codes to every local military commander.
- drysine 1y ago>Which is why a simultaneous targetted assassinations of Putin, his key government supporters, and the oligarchs is needed. It's ironic that while Ukrainian supporters like you dream about terrorist attacks, Putin himself doesn't order strikes against Kiev government.
- DecoySalamander 1y agoPutin absolutely orders attacks on Kyiv, and he would take out the Ukrainian government if he could. The Russians just lack the capacity to do so.
- MrDresden 1y ago> It's ironic that while Ukrainian supporters like you dream about terrorist attacks, Putin himself doesn't order strikes against Kiev government. You are hopelessly wrong. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_attempts_on_Volodymyr_Zelenskyy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_attempts_on_Volo...
- bufferoverflow 1y agoAnd there worst part of the triad, ICBMs, can't really be taken out easily by any method I can imagine. And they are nearly impossible to intercept, even by the US.
- skinkestek 1y agoA giant, incredibly detailed documentation ppackage, down to what posters are on what walls in what rooms were leaking in western media the other day.
- bufferoverflow 1y agoEven if you know the location of every single one, you can't easily destroy them. They all have very heavy armored covers. They are probably all guarded by the military.
- jxjnskkzxxhx 1y agoRussia hasn't spent enough in their military to afford nuclear maintenance in decades. They don't have nuclear weapons any more, they're just faking it at this stage.
- wltr 1y agoIt’s an elephant in the room, and I have a strong impression not everyone acknowledges it.
