In Russia, talked about the possibility of an accidental start of a nuclear war

Veteran of the Strategic Missile Forces, member of the presidium of “Officers of Russia” Yuri Chmutin

told reporters whether unauthorized actions are possible in the missile force control system. In other words, could a nuclear war start by accident?

Chmutin stated that from a technical point of viewsecurity is ensured effectively. And this is true both for Russia and for other countries. The veteran noted that serious protection is provided even in case of natural disasters. And no hackers can give the order to launch missiles.

“No outsider has access and will be able to find the cipher key,” the interlocutor concluded.

“Pressing a button” won’t work eithera soldier in a responsible position in the event of sudden insanity. The control system provides for centralized execution of orders and commands along the chain. Until one stage is completed, it is impossible to move on to another. In essence, missiles are collective weapons.

Decision on nuclear strike takesonly the Supreme Commander, that is, the president of Russia. Therefore, the main thing is that politicians with access to the “button” do not forget about the huge personal responsibility.
