    in this chase, showing insides into what you already came up with and are now whiling to show (as it may be outdated), will even provoke more fear and wonder of what you already did as of now and could in the future come up with. Making the deterrent even stronger than before whilst also ensuring that you don't just take it lightly and are properly ensuring that you are not wanting to have it happen by accident (and also in general) Nuklear ICBMs serve their purpose best when they don't get launched. And that's the best way to use them.

    I visited the Titan Missile Museum, which is where this video was filmed, myself some time after watching it. I didn't get to turn the key, but still, the whole tour was something else. You learn not only how this missile could have been launched and what it was used for, but also what the life of someone doing a shift at the launch facility was like. Also, this video does not do the missile's size justice; I can guarantee that it is much bigger than you'd expect in person. It's humbling, for lack of a better word.

    Honestly the Titan II is far from the scariest nuclear weapon, so it'd be placed further down the list. Scarier nuclear weapons, such as the largest nuclear bomb ever tested, the "Tsar Bomba", or MIRVed ICBMs such as the R-36 "Satan" missile that carry multiple warheads and has the longest range, exist, and some are still operational today. The Titan series of ICBMs are actually rather simple nuclear weapons in terms of both payload, cruise speed, and special capabilities. Within the US nuclear arsenal, it was eclipsed by far by the Minuteman, which could travel at about 7.9 kilometres per second. So I'd put it somewhere behind more modern ICBMs as well as standalone payloads, but you're definitely right about the old man's voice.

    Not only on standby, but actively hinting that their use by him is entirely plausible, justifiable and definitely "on the table." Christiana Amanpour interviewed Putin's deputy yesterday, who stated that it would be no problem for Russia to employ nuclear weapons if an "existential threat" existed. Are the Russians simply saber-rattling? In fact, for Putin to be dethroned means certain death or imprisonment, so in his calculation there may be nothing more to lose by launching a nuclear armageddon, since he already sees the "writing on the wall," so to speak. All cult leader Jim Jones could do at the end of his rope was to tell his flock to 'drink the kool-aid.' The one's who refused were shot. In Putin's case, he may not care if +7-billion humans are incinerated in a nuclear Holocaust, since he faces an otherwise bleak future otherwise. Putin's greatest self-acknowledged fear as a dictator was seeing how his peers Saddam Hussain and Moamar Khadafi met their fate, and doesn't want his life to end as theirs horribly did. As a result, he will attempt to hold onto power until the bitter end, yet hopefully not at the cost of the rest of humanity. So buckle up!

    I've visited the TMM twice, the last time the same year you made this video. My first job out of school was ground support for an Air Force reconnaissance satellite that launched on a Titan IIIB, so I was more than a little familiar with the Titan's technology. When I was able to answer some of the other visitors' questions better than he could, the docent asked if was local since he wanted to hire me! BTW, for anyone wondering why the "Butterfly Valve" has such a lightweight sounding name for something that causes Armageddon, it has to do with the propellants used. They were hypergolic, meaning that no ignition system was needed since they explode spontaneously on contact. The propellants were controlled by butterfly valves (like the kind in your car's intake), both operated by a common actuator. In this way, you could be sure that either both propellants would start together or neither would flow. It also made the failsafe lockout mentioned easier to do since you only had to control one. Disabling the lockout withdrew the pin preventing motion of the butterfly valves, thus enabling the launch.

He said that they gave him a whole bunch of psych tests to determine if he'd be an appropriate pick. Apparently they look for people who have less emotional responses and are more prone to follow orders no matter what. He was chosen and given a chance to become an operator but he turned it down. He said he couldn't have done it even if ordered to.

    Russian missiles are automatic; they need no external input to launch. If the "Dead Hand" switch system detects anything similar to an atomic blast, a cruise missile will fly over Russia on a pre-set flight path, beaming out radio signals which trigger the missiles to fire. All without the press of a button.

    @@anonymousstout4759 I´m not an expert here but if it could be aborted i imagine it would be a major weak point and the oposing side could just abort the attack by cracking the encryption beforehand. The abort light should in theory only be a pad abort if ther´s a failture in the silo and the missile is still there. Please correct me if i´m wrong but that would be my guess to why they said "ther´s no oops swich".

    From 9/66 thru 2/69 I was assigned to the 381st Strategic Missile Wing at McConnell AFB, Wichita, Kansas. My job was maintaining the wired communications systems on the launch sites, including those speakers you heard the EWO message over, as well as the many intercom headsets used by maintenance personnel, and the various private line telephones used to control site access. I noticed that your guide was Chuck Penson. He has published a rather comprehensive book about the Titan II from the concept to the construction, the functionality, how various systems worked, all the way through to the decommissioning and destruction of the sites. Tons of pictures and diagrams. A great resource for anyone interested in the most devastating weapon system ever deployed and a walk down memory lane for us old guys who proudly wore the “pocket rocket” (Missileman badge) back in the day.

    I was stationed at Davis Monthan AFB from 1982-1985 assigned to the 836th Security Police Squadron which provided security to the 390th & 391st Missile Squadron at DM. The video could have explained more but it was ok. I was also there providing security and evacuation support for the deactivation of the 18 silos. Was a great, much better than working missile security for MinuteMan in Grand Forks which was my next assignment.

    You need to go and tour one of the Minuteman Missile faciltiies. That was a squadron of 50 missile sites controlled by 5 launch control facilties with 2 officiers controlling 10 Minuteman missiles some with 3 warheads. The USAF had at one time 1000 Minuteman and 54 Titan II missiles on constant alert.

    This isn't really new. But it was very well presented, and with better explanation than I've seen in other places. The opening sequence for the movie War Games back in the 80s followed this pretty closely from what I remember, up to the point of one of the two soldiers refusing to turn his key, setting up the premise of the movie. And there was another movie (90s or 00s ?) where someone managed to infiltrate (or maybe one of the soldiers went rogue) and rigged up some mechanism to turn both keys at once.
