Nuclear Nightmares: The Wars That Must Never Happen

A beautiful sight

It is time.

Damn French diesel engines are f**** loud can't even hear any of the helicopter over that diesel engine in that truck

Humans are too smart for their own good, and not smart enough to realize it. I think a nuclear war is inevitable, maybe not in my lifetime; someone will forget that the critical effect of deterrence is lost once the first nuke is detonated. After that, nuclear weapons on either side(s) can be used or lost to the incoming warheads. Btw I have doubts about the invulnerability of the submarines...

Both left and right wing both seem too blame the west for cold war soviet aggression always confuses me how is it our fault that the Russians and it's commie allies don't want too stay in there own boarders and throw there toys out the pram when the west prepares for such a scenario 💀💀💀 the left wing are communists the right wing are fascist soviet sympathisers

Damnation Alley with Jan Michael Vincent and George Peppard also comes to mind

another show that needs updated

Could someone answer a question I have. What happens when a thermal nuclear warhead detonates over the submarine base in Washington state containing on average three ballistic nuclear submarines, carrying a combined total of 600 warheads and three large nuclear reactors. It would vaporize the subs in nanoseconds what happens that’s a lot of plutonium so maybe just a little baby sun is created

Sorry the way modern mankind has totally FUCKED up this planet its high time the button was pushed and mankind be vanquished from this beautiful planet...Let mother nature take it back and heal the devastating damage we have inflicted on our beautiful home...
We as a species don't deserve this amazing planet.....😢

This is more or less happening now i never would of thought the world be as dangerous as it was after 1991

Corrupt regimes mostly require expansion to survive. Especially against the ideological foes. We see this with Putin. The threat to west Germany was real.

Is that Peter Ustinov?

my grandfather helped setting up the DEW line

A little nerve rattling

It's unwise to expose the location of these missile silos...
The enemy could very well strike within the vicinity of those silos with a substantially large yielding nuke, crippling any chance of a retaliatory response!! In my opinion, mentioning the locations of those silos is a big mistake!!

What we know now, it would be the Soviet bloc countries that would be hitting an impenetrable wall of men,armor and air.

They figure we’re idiots needing the drama and stupid soundtrack to concentrate and get the message

I have a better title: Nuclear Paranoia

My first tour of duty / enlistment was in N. Western Germany at the 81st USAFAD in Duelmen Germany. We had a total of 18 Atomic rounds (12, 8 inch and 6, 155mm rounds) ready to go for the German Army to fire. My 2nd Enlistment was from 85-89 in Hanau Germany with the 3rd Armored Division / Fulda Gap. We always considered the 11th Cav ACR a Speed bump to slow the Soviets down so we could get our division up to the front. Wild times that the vets from these dangerous times were never recognized for. Maybe someday we will be...

The narrator guy got great voice.

Peter Ustinov, but you are NERON 🤣

Funny how Ustinov calls the B-52 bomber "somwhat elderly" back in 1979. Here we are almost a half century later in 2024 and it is still in service.

Well here we are.

F around with Russia and find out........

We are living in a simulation.

I visited the Fulda Gap area. Super neat! There's lil pill boxes right on the demarcation. I now sometimes wonder if they'll be used again soon.

So what year was this made?

One footnote is from files that were declassified from Soviet archives. They indeed had a war plan that detailed how they would take West Germany. They calculated that they could advance all the way to the Rhine in 7 days. But this was a response to a first strike targeting Poland by American nuclear forces. They would deliberately avoid targeting France with nukes and only target other NATO countries in coordination with their conventional forces. The idea was to keep France from using its nukes as it was the only country on continental Europe with its own nuclear deterrent. Plus France was not part of the military command structure of NATO and operates its forces independently of NATO.

Hopefully someday, we'll say "What were we thinking"!?

They're ready for war at any moment because they're effing CRAZY MAD

Could someone remind me again,about g-ds plan for the Earth ??

Public shelters lol Any body seen a current working nuclear public shelter in the U.S.A ?

Listening to that American officer talking made this interesting documentary disappointing with his constant uhhhhhhhhs.

The reason why every country that has tried to create a fission (atomic) bomb has succeeded on their first try is that it's not difficult to do, the only difficulty is obtaining the uranium or plutonium. There were lots of nuclear weapons unaccounted for after the fall of the Soviet Union. Some had even just been abandoned and not guarded whatsoever! A terrorist group with sufficient funds can acquire the fuel and perhaps a complete warhead! Fusion (hydrogen) bombs can also be easily made. There is s secret to making a hydrogen bomb small enough to be carried by a plane or missile. The first US hydrogen bomb was the size of a 2 story house! Disconcertingly, the Soviets discovered the miniaturization first
and we would have lost if there had been a nuclear WWIII before we could miniaturize them.

It's crazy how have a leader in the White house pushing for it.

Vaultec disliked this video title

More relevant today than ever. Spot on video analysis.

Excelente documental!!!!!

What year?

Not a single person on Earth will live. Mankind will become extinct leaving no evidence behind as to how and why.

It was filmed during the last phase peak of Cold War damn

Hate to say it. But we are probably closer to nuclear wwr than ever before. What with Trump spending 4 years giving Putin a blowjob and emboldimg him to think he can beat us. Isreal getting attacked by Iran, Russia invading Ukraine.

fix audio pls

This is a great documentary. I continue to be surprised every day that we haven’t blown ourselves up given that we’ve had nukes for almost 80 years.

The day comes closer.
