    I also remember this story of a soviet officer in a base who was the person to launch the ICBM's in retaliation. They suddenly had a signal of a US nuke being launched against them. The guys were mad nervous on what to do and some wanted the officer to shoot back and some weren't sure. He decided to remain at stand by and wait to see if it's a real missile or not. They tried to find out in any way possible but they couldn't figure it out and so when they waited until the missile hit its target they checked to see if they got nuked, but there was no such report and they discovered it was just a fake signal, caused maybe by a comet or something.

    • @MrCoolguy425
      @MrCoolguy425 8 месяцев назад +7

      I am assuming you’re talking about the 1983 false alarm incident. At the time the Soviet officer Stanislav Petrov monitored the Russian satellite early warning system which detected a lone ICBM launch from the U.S.
      Figuring it was a computer error (his thinking being that the U.S. would perform a first strike using hundreds of missiles and not a single missile) he didn’t send an alarm to his superiors. After confirming this since the “missile” never activated the land based radars throughout russia, he continued to ignore the further 4 missiles that were “detected” by the satellite systems.
      Later on they discovered the satellites were actually being fooled by sunlight reflecting off of high altitude clouds making the illusion of ICBM launches, this was later corrected by using geostationary satellites alongside the current satellites

      @Almina-nh7nu It is a well-known truth, but American propaganda promoted this concept that only USSR put the missiles in Cuba just for the sake of it, since the other counterpart of the story remained classified for more than 40 years.

    This is all very exciting of course. but what interests me is that no one in the video ever mentioned the fact that the supply of nuclear missiles to Cuba was a retaliatory reaction on the part of the USSR. This happened gradually due to the US stationing its missiles in Turkey. Why are the entire Soviet crew, except Arkhipov, portrayed as some kind of stupid idiots? All these people are heroes and no one will ever understand what it’s like to sit at the bottom of the sea and think that now your country is at war, your loved ones may be dying, and you can’t do anything. All crew members are heroes, I think so. And all these people were among the best. Why is the video not talking about a complete blockade of Cuba, because of which even merchant ships could not arrive there? Why are they not talking about American attempts to overthrow the government in Cuba? Perhaps this is the ultimate difficulty of translation. But I didn't hear any of that in this video. Only that the USSR is such a terrible dumbass and only one Arkhipov is great. Although it is far from only him who saved us all

If you are making a video related to history, then be objective and consider the situation from both sides. Of course, everyone is to blame, but for some reason this particular video does not say a single reason for the actions of the USSR government. It is not said that the transportation of missiles to Cuba was a response to missiles in Turkey

      In terms of animation quality, yes. In terms of content, not at all. In the previous video clip about the Second World War, which was the main reason for the Soviet and German invasion of Poland, there was no mention of the Danzig Corridor, not a single mention of the Soviet-Polish war of 1920. Even in this video, there is not a single mention of the deployment of nuclear missiles in Turkey. From this we get a black-and-white morality. And then guess, either the author himself is just pretending to be a historian, but in fact does not understand anything, or the author is just a good propagandist.

    RIP Vasili.
    Look up an old PBS special of “Secrets of the Dead: The Man who saved the World”
    You get a better idea of the conditions (cool part of sub was 110 degrees) on the Submarine they were on old diesel subs instead of nuclear ones.
    Also, Vasili was on the Russian submarine who had the partial meltdown, so that’s why Russia temporarily used the old diesel subs meant for cold environments……not hot waters like they were in.
    🫡 Vasili.
    You deserved more respect then what you got afterwards.
    My Grandpa was a Brigadier General during the Cuban Missile Crisis. He saw Hell in the Pacific during WW2.
    I know he would have gladly saluted you if he knew what you did that day.❤
