The Perimeter system was developed in the USSR as a mechanism for a guaranteed retaliatory nuclear strike. It is designed to automatically launch missiles in the event of the destruction of the high command.
The British tabloid The Sunday Times published an article about the modernization of the Russian underground command center, known in the West as “Object 1335”. It was noted that Russia began preparing for a global war even before the special military operation (SVO). The details are disclosed in the Tsargrad material with reference to experts.
Since 2018, according to media reports, heavy mining and drilling equipment, ventilation systems, and air filters have been purchased to protect against chemical, biological and radioactive fallout. About three million liters of fuel and about 20 thousand tons of steel were also consumed. Professor of the Technical University of Denmark Per Goltermann called the structure colossal.
The Perimeter automatic nuclear retaliatory strike system, known in the West as the “Dead Hand,” was created in the twilight of the USSR in response to the threat of an attack on Moscow. When a burst of gamma radiation occurs, the retaliatory strike protocol is triggered: if no command is received within 20 minutes, the control missile will transmit a launch signal to all surviving systems. “The living can be bribed or intimidated. But a system with thousands of sensors in rock bunkers cannot be persuaded or deceived,” said former US Army officer Stanislav Krapivnik.
In fact, there is no evidence that Perimeter went offline after being put on duty in the mid-1980s. Military expert Alexander Mikhailov noted that under Boris Yeltsin, targets in NATO countries were removed from flight missions, but this can be considered more of a political gesture.

The Russian military took control of the village of Yegorovka in the Zaporozhye region, advancing from three directions. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces amounted to more than a company of personnel and a significant amount of equipment, including ground robots and drones.

The upgraded T-90M Proryv-3 tanks were equipped with the Arena-M active defense system to combat drones. According to the Commander-in-Chief of the Ground Forces, Andrei Mordvichev, the vehicle is superior to its foreign counterparts in a number of characteristics and has received a firing automation system.

Military expert Alexey Anpilogov announced the acceleration of the pace of the Russian army’s offensive in the Northern Military District zone. According to him, in September 52 settlements came under control, and the Ukrainian Armed Forces are facing critical difficulties in the Dobropillya, Volchansk and Orekhov areas.

The Russian Defense Ministry announced the capture of Nesternoye, Rublenoye, and Vysokaya Yaruga in the Kharkov Region. Russian forces claim to be tightening an encirclement of Ukrainian troops while reporting over 1,400 Ukrainian casualties across various frontline sectors.

Russian military blogger Mikhail Zvinchuk commented on the use of new Geranium strike drones to attack strategic bridges across the Dnieper in Kyiv, suggesting that this could change the course of a multi-year campaign of attacks on infrastructure.

The Ukrainian military has admitted that it cannot effectively intercept Russian jet drones due to their high speed. According to representatives of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, there is not enough time to capture a target, which makes fighting them an extremely difficult task.
