Russia was so paranoid that the United States was going to launch a preemptive nuclear attack against it during the Cold War that it created a deadhand system what is that it's kind of like it sounds they created a system whereby ground sensors would be able to determine nuclear bombs hitting the Russian soil and if they weren't hearing from the nuclear command and control so the idea being that the nuclear command and control had been taken out in this preemptive nuclear strike the Dead Hand system would launch all of Russia's remaining nuclear weapons were like which were like 30,000 at the time okay would launch all of them without even needing a hand to push the button hence the name the Dead Hand
