[0:00]What would happen if two US submarines launched an attack on Russia? Well, the submarines that are placed near Russia are Ohio class submarines, and each carries up to 24 Trident-2 nuclear missiles, and each missile can deliver up to 14 warheads, each strong enough to flatten an entire city. That means two subs could rain down nearly 200 nuclear warheads on Russia in minutes before Russia even has time to think. But Russia wouldn't wait the moment their early warning systems detect a massive launch. They'd assume this is the beginning of World War III and launch a retaliatory strike immediately. Even if US submarines managed to eliminate top Russian leadership, it wouldn't stop the apocalypse. Russia has a dead hand system, an automated nuclear command. If leadership is wiped out, it launches missiles automatically. No human decision needed, and that's where it gets terrifying. Russia has something called the RS-28 Sarmat, nicknamed Satan-II, one of the most powerful nuclear missiles ever built. It can carry 10 to 15 warheads, each independently targetable. It's so fast and unpredictable that no current defense system can stop it. Moscow could unleash dozens of these hitting Washington, London, Berlin, and NATO command centers in under 30 minutes.
