Medvedev responded to Trump, reminding of the danger of an automatic nuclear strike
![]() 918 Thursday, 31 July, 2025, 11:45 Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev responded to US President Donald Trump's criticism of him, recalling the "Dead Hand" automatic nuclear strike system, ArbatMedia reports. "If the words of the former president cause such a sharp reaction in the US president, it means that Russia is right in everything and will not change its course," Medvedev wrote. Commenting on Trump's words about the "dead economies" of Russia and India, Medvedev said: "As for the "dead economy" of India and Russia and "entering dangerous territory," let him remember his favorite films about the "walking dead," as well as how dangerous a "dead hand" that does not exist in nature can be." The "Perimeter" system, which is called "dead hand" in the West, was created in the USSR. It assumes the ability to automatically launch a nuclear retaliatory strike in the event of the destruction of the army's leadership and all communication channels. The system ensures that the response will follow even after the complete defeat of the command. |
