Launch on warning
Launch on warning (LOW) is a strategy of nuclear weapon retaliation that gained recognition during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. With the invention of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), launch on warning became an integral part of mutually assured destruction (MAD) theory. Under the strategy, a retaliatory strike is launched upon warning of enemy nuclear attack while its missiles are still in the air and before detonation occurs.
History
Before the introduction of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), the Strategic Air Command had multiple bombers on patrol at all times like, presumably, its Soviet counterpart. In the event of a nuclear strike by one of the nations, the other nation would order its bombers to fly to the other country and drop their nuclear payload on predetermined targets. In the United States, the bombers were typically either B-47 Stratojets or B-52 Stratofortresses, and there were three major flight routes. Keeping bombers in the air assured that a second strike would be feasible even if the first strike were to impair ground facilities. At the height of the Cold War, the United States had special Boeing EC-135 "Looking Glass" aircraft equipped as control centers for the nuclear arsenal. The battle staff included a general or flag officer who was authorized to order a retaliatory strike if the President could not be contacted.

World Nuclear War 3 AI Simulation - Russia, NATO, China, North Korea, France, UK
It is obvious that today the world is divided into two coalitions. on the one hand - Nato bloc and its allies, on the other hand - China, Russia, Belarus, Iran, North Korea, Syria. Studies say that in the U.S. 60% of people believe that everything is heading towards a third world war. And in Russia, according to polls 71% of people believe that nuclear war is about to start. Is a third world war possible? With so many conflicts around us. Today we're going to look at a possible World War III scenario and its consequences. Stage 0. Provocation. One of the most likely scenarios is that Russia could use tactical nuclear weapons to scare Ukraine. This explosion would kill 30,000 to 40,000 people.

Wargames (1983) Part 1 HD Soviet Launch Detection HD Standby to Launch Missiles At My Command
On 26 September 1983, during the Cold War, the nuclear early-warning radar of the Soviet Union reported the launch of one intercontinental ballistic missile with four more missiles behind it, from bases in the United States. These missile attack warnings were suspected to be false alarms by Stanislav Petrov, an officer of the Soviet Air Defence Forces on duty at the command center of the early-warning system. He decided to wait for corroborating evidence—of which none arrived—rather than immediately relaying the warning up the chain-of-command. This decision is seen as having prevented a retaliatory nuclear attack against the United States and its NATO allies, which would likely have resulted in an escalation to a full-scale nuclear war. Investigation of the satellite warning system later ...

It is obvious that today the world is divided into two coalitions. on the one hand - Nato bloc and its allies, on the other hand - China, Russia, Belarus, Iran, North Korea, Syria.
Studies say that in the U.S. 60% of people believe that everything is heading towards a third world war. And in Russia, according to polls 71% of people believe that nuclear war is about to start.
Is a third world war possible?
With so many conflicts around us.
Today we're going to look at a possible World War III scenario and its consequences.
Stage 0. Provocation.
One of the most likely scenarios is that Russia could use tactical nuclear weapons to scare Ukraine.
This explosion would kill 30,000 to 40,000 people. And create a nuclear cloud that would spread to Europe.
According to leaks, the CIA has already been working on this scenario. There is a plan to have Nato troops enter Ukraine.
In such a case a direct military confrontation between the Nato Bloc and Russia would begin.
Stage 1. Initiation.
As the nuclear threshold is crossed, hostilities escalate into a tactical nuclear war in Europe. Russia sends 300 nuclear warheads using airplanes and short-range missiles to hit NATO bases and advancing troops. NATO responds with about 180 nuclear warheads from airplanes.
Russia's allies will be involved at this point.
North Korea will send some nuclear missiles, not all of which will reach their target.
China will also enter the confrontation.
Сasualties - 3 million people.
World Nuclear War. Part one. Exchange of tactical nuclear warheads.
With Europe destroyed, NATO launches a strategic nuclear strike of 700 warheads of U.S. land and underwater missiles aimed at Russian and Chinese nuclear forces. Before losing their weapons systems, Russia and China make warning launches, responding with missiles launched from launchers, vehicles, and submarines.
Сasualties - 6 million people.
World Nuclear War. Part two - Attack on strategic centers.
At first, nuclear weapons would be used as a method of preventing a retaliatory or second strike. "Here it is more correct to speak not about the quantity but about the quality of casualties. All means of use have priority targets. These are first of all missile launch mines, military facilities, large cities, large industrial enterprises, dams. If power engineers, military, government bodies are killed, if power generation and transmission facilities are destroyed - the state will be irreversibly destroyed."
In order to prevent the other side from rebuilding, Russia, China and NATO are striking each other's 30 most populated cities and economic centers, using 5-10 warheads in each city depending on the population.
Сasualties - 200 million people.
World Nuclear War. Part three - war to defeat
At the moment when one side realizes that a nuclear war cannot be won, the war against strategic centers will turn into a war of defeat.
The main goal of which is to destroy as many cities, population, paralyzing the enemy, causing her maximum damage. If the goal is complete elimination, then non-standard targets will be attacked. For example, Russia is considering the explosion of super-powerful warheads in the depths of the ocean opposite major coastal cities. The goal is a powerful tsunami that would simply blow away everything in its path.
Also, a nuclear strike could hit Yellowstone National Park. That's where North America's "super volcano" or Yellowstone Caldera is located. A strike on this place would trigger a massive eruption, resulting in irreparable damage to the US and the entire continent.
A Yellowstone explosion could release between 1,000 and 2,500 cubic kilometers of solid particles, most of it in the form of ash.
On 2-3 thousand kilometers around will fall ash layer up to a meter, on the rest of the U.S. - ash layer up to 0.3 meters.
The number of dead in the first hours and days is estimated at 50-80 million people.All infrastructure will be destroyed. Industry and agriculture will disappear. A layer of ash impenetrable to the sun's rays will appear over the planet. It can stay in the atmosphere for at least 2-4 years.
Airplanes will stop flying. Temperatures will drop. Some reports say 3-5 degrees, others say 20 degrees.

WarGames is a 1983 American Cold War science fiction techno-thriller film[2] written by Lawrence Lasker and Walter F. Parkes and directed by John Badham. The film, which stars Matthew Broderick, Dabney Coleman, John Wood, and Ally Sheedy, follows David Lightman (Broderick), a young hacker who unwittingly accesses a United States military supercomputer programmed to simulate, predict and execute nuclear war against the Soviet Union.
WarGames was a critical and box-office success, costing $12 million and grossing $125 million worldwide. The influential film was nominated for three Academy Awards. A sequel, WarGames: The Dead Code, was released direct-to-video in 2008.

Development on WarGames began in 1979, when writers Walter F. Parkes and Lawrence Lasker developed an idea for a script called The Genius, about "a dying scientist and the only person in the world who understands him—a rebellious kid who's too smart for his own good". Lasker was inspired by a television special presented by Peter Ustinov on several geniuses including Stephen Hawking. Lasker said, "I found the predicament Hawking was in fascinating—that he might one day figure out the unified field theory and not be able to tell anyone, because of his progressive ALS. So there was this idea that he'd need a successor. And who would that be? Maybe this kid, a juvenile delinquent whose problem was that nobody realized he was too smart for his environment." The concept of computers and hacking as part of the film was not yet present.
The Genius began its transformation into WarGames when Parkes and Lasker met Peter Schwartz from the Stanford Research Institute. "There was a new subculture of extremely bright kids developing into what would become known as hackers," said Schwartz. Schwartz made the connection between youth, computers, gaming, and the military.[3] Parkes and Lasker also met with computer-security expert Willis Ware of RAND Corporation, who assured them that even a secure military computer might have remote access enabling remote work on weekends, encouraging the screenwriters to continue with the project.
Parkes and Lasker came up with several different military-themed plotlines prior to the final story. One version of the script had an early version of the WOPR named "Uncle Ollie", or Omnipresent Laser Interceptor (OLI), a space-based defensive laser run by an intelligent program, but this idea was discarded because it was too speculative.[3] Director John Badham coined the name "WOPR", feeling that the name of NORAD's Single Integrated Operational Plan was "boring, and told you nothing".[5] The name "WOPR" played off the Whopper hamburger, and a general sense of something going "whop".[5]
The WOPR computer as seen in the film was a prop created in Culver City, California, by members of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees Local 44.[6] It was designed by production designer (credited as visual consultant) Geoffrey Kirkland based on some pictures he had of early tabulating machines, and metal furniture, consoles, and cabinets used particularly in the U.S. military in the 1940s and '50s. They were adapted in drawings and concepts by art director Angelo P. Graham. The WOPR was operated by a crewmember sitting inside the computer, entering commands into an Apple II at the director's instruction.[6] The prop was broken up for scrap after production was completed. A replica was built for a 2006 AT&T commercial.[7]
David Lightman was modeled on David Scott Lewis, a hacking enthusiast Parkes and Lasker met.[3][8] Falken was inspired by and named after Stephen Hawking, with the appearance of John Lennon, who was interested in the role, but was murdered in New York while the script was in development. General Beringer was based on General James V. Hartinger (USAF) the then-commander-in-chief of NORAD, whom Parkes and Lasker met while visiting the base, and who, like Beringer, favored keeping humans in the decision loop

It is obvious that today the world is divided into two coalitions. on the one hand - Nato bloc and its allies, on the other hand - China, Russia, Belarus, Iran, North Korea, Syria.
Studies say that in the U.S. 60% of people believe that everything is heading towards a third world war. And in Russia, according to polls 71% of people believe that nuclear war is about to start.
Is a third world war possible?
With so many conflicts around us.
Today we're going to look at a possible World War III scenario and its consequences.
Stage 0. Provocation.
One of the most likely scenarios is that Russia could use tactical nuclear weapons to scare Ukraine.
This explosion would kill 30,000 to 40,000 people. And create a nuclear cloud that would spread to Europe.
According to leaks, the CIA has already been working on this scenario. There is a plan to have Nato troops enter Ukraine.
In such a case a direct military confrontation between the Nato Bloc and Russia would begin.
Stage 1. Initiation.
As the nuclear threshold is crossed, hostilities escalate into a tactical nuclear war in Europe. Russia sends 300 nuclear warheads using airplanes and short-range missiles to hit NATO bases and advancing troops. NATO responds with about 180 nuclear warheads from airplanes.
Russia's allies will be involved at this point.
North Korea will send some nuclear missiles, not all of which will reach their target.
China will also enter the confrontation.
Сasualties - 3 million people.
World Nuclear War. Part one. Exchange of tactical nuclear warheads.
With Europe destroyed, NATO launches a strategic nuclear strike of 700 warheads of U.S. land and underwater missiles aimed at Russian and Chinese nuclear forces. Before losing their weapons systems, Russia and China make warning launches, responding with missiles launched from launchers, vehicles, and submarines.
Сasualties - 6 million people.
World Nuclear War. Part two - Attack on strategic centers.
At first, nuclear weapons would be used as a method of preventing a retaliatory or second strike. "Here it is more correct to speak not about the quantity but about the quality of casualties. All means of use have priority targets. These are first of all missile launch mines, military facilities, large cities, large industrial enterprises, dams. If power engineers, military, government bodies are killed, if power generation and transmission facilities are destroyed - the state will be irreversibly destroyed."
In order to prevent the other side from rebuilding, Russia, China and NATO are striking each other's 30 most populated cities and economic centers, using 5-10 warheads in each city depending on the population.
Сasualties - 200 million people.
World Nuclear War. Part three - war to defeat
At the moment when one side realizes that a nuclear war cannot be won, the war against strategic centers will turn into a war of defeat.
The main goal of which is to destroy as many cities, population, paralyzing the enemy, causing her maximum damage. If the goal is complete elimination, then non-standard targets will be attacked. For example, Russia is considering the explosion of super-powerful warheads in the depths of the ocean opposite major coastal cities. The goal is a powerful tsunami that would simply blow away everything in its path.
Also, a nuclear strike could hit Yellowstone National Park. That's where North America's "super volcano" or Yellowstone Caldera is located. A strike on this place would trigger a massive eruption, resulting in irreparable damage to the US and the entire continent.
A Yellowstone explosion could release between 1,000 and 2,500 cubic kilometers of solid particles, most of it in the form of ash.
On 2-3 thousand kilometers around will fall ash layer up to a meter, on the rest of the U.S. - ash layer up to 0.3 meters.
The number of dead in the first hours and days is estimated at 50-80 million people.All infrastructure will be destroyed. Industry and agriculture will disappear. A layer of ash impenetrable to the sun's rays will appear over the planet. It can stay in the atmosphere for at least 2-4 years.
Airplanes will stop flying. Temperatures will drop. Some reports say 3-5 degrees, others say 20 degrees.

On 26 September 1983, during the Cold War, the nuclear early-warning radar of the Soviet Union reported the launch of one intercontinental ballistic missile with four more missiles behind it, from bases in the United States. These missile attack warnings were suspected to be false alarms by Stanislav Petrov, an officer of the Soviet Air Defence Forces on duty at the command center of the early-warning system. He decided to wait for corroborating evidence—of which none arrived—rather than immediately relaying the warning up the chain-of-command. This decision is seen as having prevented a retaliatory nuclear attack against the United States and its NATO allies, which would likely have resulted in an escalation to a full-scale nuclear war. Investigation of the satellite warning system later determined that the system had indeed malfunctioned.

WarGames is a 1983 American Cold War science fiction techno-thriller film[2] written by Lawrence Lasker and Walter F. Parkes and directed by John Badham. The film, which stars Matthew Broderick, Dabney Coleman, John Wood, and Ally Sheedy, follows David Lightman (Broderick), a young hacker who unwittingly accesses a United States military supercomputer programmed to simulate, predict and execute nuclear war against the Soviet Union.
WarGames was a critical and box-office success, costing $12 million and grossing $125 million worldwide. The influential film was nominated for three Academy Awards. A sequel, WarGames: The Dead Code, was released direct-to-video in 2008.

Development on WarGames began in 1979, when writers Walter F. Parkes and Lawrence Lasker developed an idea for a script called The Genius, about "a dying scientist and the only person in the world who understands him—a rebellious kid who's too smart for his own good". Lasker was inspired by a television special presented by Peter Ustinov on several geniuses including Stephen Hawking. Lasker said, "I found the predicament Hawking was in fascinating—that he might one day figure out the unified field theory and not be able to tell anyone, because of his progressive ALS. So there was this idea that he'd need a successor. And who would that be? Maybe this kid, a juvenile delinquent whose problem was that nobody realized he was too smart for his environment." The concept of computers and hacking as part of the film was not yet present.
The Genius began its transformation into WarGames when Parkes and Lasker met Peter Schwartz from the Stanford Research Institute. "There was a new subculture of extremely bright kids developing into what would become known as hackers," said Schwartz. Schwartz made the connection between youth, computers, gaming, and the military.[3] Parkes and Lasker also met with computer-security expert Willis Ware of RAND Corporation, who assured them that even a secure military computer might have remote access enabling remote work on weekends, encouraging the screenwriters to continue with the project.
Parkes and Lasker came up with several different military-themed plotlines prior to the final story. One version of the script had an early version of the WOPR named "Uncle Ollie", or Omnipresent Laser Interceptor (OLI), a space-based defensive laser run by an intelligent program, but this idea was discarded because it was too speculative.[3] Director John Badham coined the name "WOPR", feeling that the name of NORAD's Single Integrated Operational Plan was "boring, and told you nothing".[5] The name "WOPR" played off the Whopper hamburger, and a general sense of something going "whop".[5]
The WOPR computer as seen in the film was a prop created in Culver City, California, by members of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees Local 44.[6] It was designed by production designer (credited as visual consultant) Geoffrey Kirkland based on some pictures he had of early tabulating machines, and metal furniture, consoles, and cabinets used particularly in the U.S. military in the 1940s and '50s. They were adapted in drawings and concepts by art director Angelo P. Graham. The WOPR was operated by a crewmember sitting inside the computer, entering commands into an Apple II at the director's instruction.[6] The prop was broken up for scrap after production was completed. A replica was built for a 2006 AT&T commercial.[7]
David Lightman was modeled on David Scott Lewis, a hacking enthusiast Parkes and Lasker met.[3][8] Falken was inspired by and named after Stephen Hawking, with the appearance of John Lennon, who was interested in the role, but was murdered in New York while the script was in development. General Beringer was based on General James V. Hartinger (USAF) the then-commander-in-chief of NORAD, whom Parkes and Lasker met while visiting the base, and who, like Beringer, favored keeping humans in the decision loop

Launch on warning
Launch on warning (LOW) is a strategy of nuclear weapon retaliation that gained recognition during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. With the invention of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), launch on warning became an integral part of mutually assured destruction (MAD) theory. Under the strategy, a retaliatory strike is launched upon warning of enemy nuclear attack while its missiles are still in the air and before detonation occurs.
History
Before the introduction of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), the Strategic Air Command had multiple bombers on patrol at all times like, presumably, its Soviet counterpart. In the event of a nuclear strike by one of the nations, the other nation would order its bombers to fly to the other country and drop their nuclear payload on predetermined targets. In the United States, the bombers were typically either B-47 Stratojets or B-52 Stratofortresses, and there were three major flight routes. Keeping bombers in the air assured that a second strike would be feasible even if the first strike were to impair ground facilities. At the height of the Cold War, the United States had special Boeing EC-135 "Looking Glass" aircraft equipped as control centers for the nuclear arsenal. The battle staff included a general or flag officer who was authorized to order a retaliatory strike if the President could not be contacted.
