Investigation Links Russia's Urals Bunker to Cold War 'Dead Hand'

Original: Russia's Facility 1335 Nuclear Bunker in Urals Linked to Cold War 'Dead Hand' in New Investigation

A new investigation examines Facility 1335, a hardened nuclear bunker in Russia's Ural mountains, and links it to the Soviet-era 'Dead Hand' system, a semi-automatic mechanism designed to trigger a retaliatory nuclear strike if Russian leadership was decapitated. The report is drawing attention to Russia's Cold War command-and-control infrastructure and what it suggests about current nuclear readiness.

Why now: Interest in Russian nuclear command systems has risen amid ongoing tensions over the war in Ukraine.
