So it appears the Soviets had their answer to our Airborne Command Posts, through the Cold War, they developed a doomsday machine in the 80s, and is still operational. Not to worry though, it requires a human to actually launch the weapons, so no Matrix or Terminator takeover is likely from this system. Basically if it detected enough indicators of a nuclear attack (seismic, radiation etc) and was not turned off by high command, it would unlock all the missiles to be fired by their respective crews. The American system had command centers in aircraft kept airborne at all times, to take control in the event of an attack and make a counterattack.
