> we want our adversaries to know how we control our nuclear forces so they don't panic and preemptively attack us

The Russian’s dead man switch is the exact opposite. I wonder if it’s still in place.

Quick question though - are their fake launches to see if crew would actually send the nukes? I’m picturing like a firing squad where nobody knows who has the real bullet
