For a fleeting moment on May 22 the world may have come closer to a catastrophic nuclear accident due to a reckless Ukrainian drone attack on two Russian strategic nuclear early warning radars at Armavir.
Fortunately, a subsequent Ukranian drone attack on a third radar station at Orsk in Russia on May 26 failed.
The incidents underscore a few important things. First, the Ukrainians could have needlessly sparked a crisis in which the Russians, feeling like one of their defenses against a U.S. nuclear attack, were down, struck back hard in retaliation. And second, it highlights the need for Russians to acquire comprehensive space-based nuclear radar of their own.
What happened and what it means
The Ukrainian attack at Armavir was a big deal. It shut down both Russian radars immediately. And it’s likely that within minutes of the attack, an emergency meeting took place with the commander of the Russian strategic rocket forces along with his highest-level officers.

Thank you for dedicating this post to Ted Postol. He is a person of remarkable integrity. The fact that he has been shut out by the media says everything about the incompetence and crookedness and corruption of our political and academic elites. Before he "broke" the rules he belonged to the most frequent and respected contributors of the "Bulletin of the Atomic Scientist". His expertise was sought for by all major scientific institutions. However unlike others he never forgot what decency and humanity mean. And stuck to ideals instead of aiming at a spot as high-brow D.C. cocktail party clown.
