The '''Dead Hand''', or '''Perimeter''' system, is a long-standing fail-safe mechanism/plan which guarantees a full-scale nuclear retaliation in case any nation is foolish enough to try a [[decapitation strike]] on [[Moscow]].
It dates back to [[Soviet]] times, when a special regiment of SS-20 missiles was equipped with radio transmission devices instead of warheads. These missiles would be launched, broadcasting launch codes that would send all [[strategic nuclear force]] [[weapon]]s to their targets, even if Moscow was taken out.
