21:00 You can't help but feel really bad for Major Vladimir Klemiato, the poor guy was very optimistic about mutual disarmament and really wanted nothing more but to live a nuclear weapons free world at peace so that his grand kids could one day talk about how he worked the ancient job of "missile controller". Poor guy, you can only imagine how disappointed he is today.
He was an idiott who believed the US. The US never disarmed its nuclear arsenal. It has more than it says it has. Russia had about 32000 whiles US had only 10000. They had to convince Russia to reduce just like they convinced them to sell alaska. Thank God Russia has someone like Putin now.
Every comment made by those soldiers was thoughtful, informed and balanced. They recognised the weight of responsbility of those weapons but also the need for caution that is the lesson of five centuries of Russian history.
Very level headed missile operators. They want to see the missiles gone regardless that In doing so they’d lose their jobs I hope that all of the other nuclear capable nations have similarly minded missile operators
Broadcast just 9 weeks before the end of the Soviet Union. It’s interesting that the CIA wasn’t expecting the Union to collapse so quickly, but this journalist knew the end was in sight.
Oh the CIA was expecting it. they made secret undercover agents. Cold War shit is real. You don’t know how many sleeper agents the KGB put here already and the ones CIA put over there. And they actually got captured interrogated and killed and disavowed. Mission impossible was inspired by these very secret like missions. The Americans wanted to take down Russia. And cripple her strength. By destroying them from the insides. Because if you can’t beat em join em and make them kill them selves that way they avoid a nuclear war. I mean USA and Russia can beat each other. It’s not who hits first or faster they can kill each other 1000x over with nukes. Nuclear warfare is serious shit.

Well, it looks like a lot of people expected the USSR to crumble, they were just not agreeing on if this was a matter of months or a matter of years.
Thing about soviet and now russian equipment, the west always measures it by their standards and says old and dated with dials etc, but that = simple and robust with less that can go wrong and durable and reliant and it works. Russian gear is like a good old diesel, it will just keep going.
The Chernobyl incident shows that within the Soviet Union, their equipment and construction quality did not always measure up to the same standards as those in the West.
@@alexandermelbaus2351 It was not bad equipment that failed, it was an initial design flaw and poor training, there is a distinct difference. The Three Mile Island accident in the US on the other hand was caused by equipment malfunction and I dont think people realise that cleanup took 14 years. Also if we talk technology flaws and failures, just look at the Boeing 737 - Max series, still grounded. That had all the cutting edge and design technology of one of the biggest tech companies in the world in Boeing and it flew and killed people because of its MCAS system. My comment was about longevity and robustness of Soviet/Russian equipment versus its aesthetics...that argument being it may not look pretty but it is durable and rugged. Another example the M1 Abras tank...great in Europe and North America, yet massive problems in the Gulf as it has a gas turbine engine that sucks in massive amounts of air to run and also in that environment, massive amounts of fine sand!!..they had massive issues with breakdown, loss of power, engine damage etc as a result...so be objective when making generalist statements as some gear in the West has massive flaws..don't even start me on the JSF!!
It's also worth pointing out that the USA's Titan II missile silos were equally as dated until their decomissioning in the early-mid 80's. But the tech was very reliable. Titan II missiles were very dangerous and fragile however. Keeping liquid-fueled systems underground was always a managed risk.
@@alexandermelbaus2351 What about Fukushima with such great holy american/japan techs? Thanks God, that Fukushima atomic plant was on shore so they can permanently polute ocean with radiation for decades.

The elimination of short range, some bomber forces and a few ground base ICBMs through treaty and obsolescence during the 1990s was very positive step. The recent talks about bringing some of those forces back is disappointing. I believe the missilers from both sides would be very grateful for these weapons to disappear because we are aware of the dangers involved not only in their impact but also the difficulty in controlling them every minute of every day for every month for decades.

Even though we were enemies for decades and I served in the US Army specifically to resist the USSR, I feel badly for these men. They went though an enormous change that they weren’t prepared for. We should be friends somehow.
USA is actually the evil side, USSR wants to join their alliance after WW2 and USA rejected them resulting a Cold War, and in early 1990s after the disintegrated of USSR, Russia wants to join NATO and again USA reject them, so we can say the US don't want a peace, they're some how looking for an enemies because they get so much money from weapons and countries who afraid of future Great War (so they can buy weapons from the US)
By western standart the equipment is dated. Well take a look at an american icbm silo, same old hardware. Turns out that the market for icmb operating computer systems is somewhat small, and also very exclusive.

In what ways does the missile determine the firing target ? I saw that there was no screen or digital map to lock the target 🗺 when the center of the commander ordered the launch 🚀
Apparently, only mere months before the USSR officially ended. Air date says October 17th, 1991. Gorbachev resigned as President of the Soviet Union on December 25th, 1991 (according to Wikipedia). It's evident in this video that the USSR was in the process of breaking up.
You have got to admire the soviets for giving up in late 1991 instead of letti g their country plunge into another civi war. Imagine a civi war in a nuclear super power... Any fool can take control of a nuclear facility with half a regiment
It's not going to happen. H bombs are fictitious. The Cold War was a big boasting contest. Fission bombs are plausible but their yields are miniscule compared to the of thermonuclear (H) bombs.

I personally believe we should be working as one to fix the world but who an I but some guy on the Internets
@@retiredretired8496You are some guy on the internets with a mind that ponders good questions, already ahead of most. And I do agree with you, the USSR was no joyful place to be for some, it was however for others. For many it worked well, for many it did not. Like any system including our own. However we treated them throughout as if all was terrible, nothing good was ever achieved and they could never have anything to teach us. A mentality understandable under Stalin given he was as murderous, sociopathic, and brutal, as he was brilliant. But once he was dead we continued in that mind-set, stoking fear which really helps to keep home populations in line and the orders for weapons from defence corporations flowing which keeps the political donations and bribes flooding into Washington. An example of that can be seen in JFK’s election campaign where he scared the American people shitless by claiming there was a massive long range bomber and nuclear missile gap between the USA and Russia. The reality was the USSR had far fewer nukes and only 12 long range bombers at that time, all of them propeller driven and 20 years old. He knew that but he red baited anyway. Then when in office he built massive amounts of new nuclear weapons and planes and of course the USSR responded to that threat, in kind. And we legitimised that anti Russian mentality which helped bring us to the point of a nuclear holocaust by using Stalin’s ghost liberally to insight fear. The USA had a grand opportunity when the USSR fell, Mikhail Gorbachev and those around him were trying to re-organise the USSR post fall into a democratic socialist federated system. Capitalism would have had new markets and the people would have had Scandinavian socialist policies to benefit them as well as the right to leave the union if they wished. The USA didn’t want that. They wanted to turn the remains of Russia into a neoliberal capitalist playground under the control of Russian oligarch’s dependant on western capitalism. We have severely fucked so many chances to have a peaceful multi polar world, mainly due to America and its smaller western vassal states like my UK, and there insistence that they be the supreme economic and military rulers of the earth. ruclips.net/video/kvplMn0SiPI/видео.html We bomb nations into despair who are no threat to us, we overthrow entire democracies who dare to do economics differently to what our corporations want, and no one says or does a damned thing. And as the American empire's economic dominance falls, ironically due to capitalism, it's militarism and fascistic tendencies are rising. History doesn't repeat but it certainly echos. ruclips.net/video/syuMUusrDQ4/видео.html

The US has not introduced a new ICBM since Trident II in 1990. Russia, however, has continued to develop new ICBMs and associated technology. The latest generation of Russian tech is on par or better than US tech.
And now in 2024 it's basically a hare's breath away, the Russians have just expanded and lowered the threshold of what they consider worthy of a nuclear strike.

I’m Eastern European American Russian people are very peaceful educated responsible I’m not worried about Russians I’m worried about other nuclear power country’s but I hope 🤞 we are all safe..
What I have been noticing is that in countries like Russia the people who originally built this stuff are dead or dying off. The geniuses who came up with the technology and the factories that made the parts closed long ago. The newer generations don’t know how this stuff was built, only how to upkeep it. So it makes me wonder how new ones will be built or the technology will be lost ?

Who would have ever thought that 30 years later, world is at it again.... And this time Russian Strategic Rocket Forces are generations ahead of western counterparts.
@DoTheRightThing They have virtually every piece of technology present on a nuclear weapon advanced and perfected to a level where United States is lagging atleast one generation behind. Guidance systems, launch platforms, propulsion, maneuvering, detection, warhead yealds, dummy targets. Heck they even have launch platforms United States does not have like mobile TELs or train cars capable of launching ICBM. And lets not forget Burevestnik and Poseidon. 2 absolutely unique delivery methods that United States have no defense against. And all of this happened because of United States have unilaterally abandoned the ABM treaty and sought advantage. Minuteman missiles United States are decades old while Russians have had several more modern generations of ICBMs come and go.
@DoTheRightThing well United States made a deal with Russia that they will not expand NATO eastward and Clinton threw that deal out of the window, just like Bush throw out of the window ABM treaty.... It got to a bad start right there...

Russian engineering always makes things works.It may look "outdated" but I'd bet the so called "old and outdated" Russian tech would be the only thing working if apocalypse were to happen
...yeah, but back then you wouldn’t even get close to Chita without being accompanied by an official team. It’s not like those sites are easily accessible by metro just outside Moscow, and a helicopter full of commandos would never have crossed the Soviet airspace, so it’s all a bit irrelevant. The US needs tighter perimeter defence at its military facilities because virtually anyone could enter the country and freely travel. Not so in the USSR, even in 1991 there were many, many closed cities.
Given the state of Europe today, and the condition of the Russian Federation's conventional forces while fighting Ukraine, I fear now that the Russians will NEVER eliminate their nuclear warhead stockpile. The Russians believe it is the main military deterrent left to them against invasion from outside forces.
very interesting but, from what we know now it would be insane for Russia to give up even one asset in the face of British treachery or American/Israeli duplicity.

Don't worry about the bunkers worry about the submerge ones way out at sea 🌊. The submarines of today are so deadly.
Most of the US missle subs have had a few of their silos converted into cruise missle launchers, non-nuclear capable silos. Make love not war! Peace!

In what ways does the missile determine the firing target ? I saw that there was no screen or digital map to lock the target 🗺 when the center of the commander ordered the launch 🚀

This was made before the USSR broken up ?
Apparently, only mere months before the USSR officially ended. Air date says October 17th, 1991. Gorbachev resigned as President of the Soviet Union on December 25th, 1991 (according to Wikipedia). It's evident in this video that the USSR was in the process of breaking up.

The problem with Russia today, is the west. We have always treated them as if Stalin never died.

@@retiredretired8496 What have they got to do with the price of milk.

@@Nine-Signs Not sure man .I know after Germany fell the soviet union did not make it so eazy on anyone .I guess after being enemies so long it is hard.That and politicians will use anything to fear monger and get votes . I personally believe we should be working as one to fix the world but who an I but some guy on the Internets
@@retiredretired8496You are some guy on the internets with a mind that ponders good questions, already ahead of most.
And I do agree with you, the USSR was no joyful place to be for some, it was however for others. For many it worked well, for many it did not. Like any system including our own.
However we treated them throughout as if all was terrible, nothing good was ever achieved and they could never have anything to teach us. A mentality understandable under Stalin given he was as murderous, sociopathic, and brutal, as he was brilliant.
But once he was dead we continued in that mind-set, stoking fear which really helps to keep home populations in line and the orders for weapons from defence corporations flowing which keeps the political donations and bribes flooding into Washington.
An example of that can be seen in JFK’s election campaign where he scared the American people shitless by claiming there was a massive long range bomber and nuclear missile gap between the USA and Russia. The reality was the USSR had far fewer nukes and only 12 long range bombers at that time, all of them propeller driven and 20 years old. He knew that but he red baited anyway.
Then when in office he built massive amounts of new nuclear weapons and planes and of course the USSR responded to that threat, in kind. And we legitimised that anti Russian mentality which helped bring us to the point of a nuclear holocaust by using Stalin’s ghost liberally to insight fear.
The USA had a grand opportunity when the USSR fell, Mikhail Gorbachev and those around him were trying to re-organise the USSR post fall into a democratic socialist federated system. Capitalism would have had new markets and the people would have had Scandinavian socialist policies to benefit them as well as the right to leave the union if they wished.
The USA didn’t want that. They wanted to turn the remains of Russia into a neoliberal capitalist playground under the control of Russian oligarch’s dependant on western capitalism.
We have severely fucked so many chances to have a peaceful multi polar world, mainly due to America and its smaller western vassal states like my UK, and there insistence that they be the supreme economic and military rulers of the earth.
ruclips.net/video/kvplMn0SiPI/видео.html
We bomb nations into despair who are no threat to us, we overthrow entire democracies who dare to do economics differently to what our corporations want, and no one says or does a damned thing.
And as the American empire's economic dominance falls, ironically due to capitalism, it's militarism and fascistic tendencies are rising. History doesn't repeat but it certainly echos.

What I have been noticing is that in countries like Russia the people who originally built this stuff are dead or dying off. The geniuses who came up with the technology and the factories that made the parts closed long ago. The newer generations don’t know how this stuff was built, only how to upkeep it. So it makes me wonder how new ones will be built or the technology will be lost ?

@DoTheRightThing in every possible way?
@DoTheRightThing They have virtually every piece of technology present on a nuclear weapon advanced and perfected to a level where United States is lagging atleast one generation behind. Guidance systems, launch platforms, propulsion, maneuvering, detection, warhead yealds, dummy targets. Heck they even have launch platforms United States does not have like mobile TELs or train cars capable of launching ICBM. And lets not forget Burevestnik and Poseidon. 2 absolutely unique delivery methods that United States have no defense against. And all of this happened because of United States have unilaterally abandoned the ABM treaty and sought advantage. Minuteman missiles United States are decades old while Russians have had several more modern generations of ICBMs come and go.
@DoTheRightThing internet open sources.
@DoTheRightThing well United States made a deal with Russia that they will not expand NATO eastward and Clinton threw that deal out of the window, just like Bush throw out of the window ABM treaty.... It got to a bad start right there...

...yeah, but back then you wouldn’t even get close to Chita without being accompanied by an official team. It’s not like those sites are easily accessible by metro just outside Moscow, and a helicopter full of commandos would never have crossed the Soviet airspace, so it’s all a bit irrelevant. The US needs tighter perimeter defence at its military facilities because virtually anyone could enter the country and freely travel. Not so in the USSR, even in 1991 there were many, many closed cities.
