"Running from a nuclear heart attack"

62

"Running pythons"


A plan appeared that remained top secret for a long time after the end of the Cold War and which is still not fully declassified, it is clear that something from it is still being used. Originally known as PYTHON, this concept was best phrased as "getaway." Or "running from a nuclear heart attack."

The new plan essentially left Korsham as an operational facility, now defining it as a decoy for missiles (it was assumed that people at the KGB and GRU PGU receive their salaries for free and are not aware that the facility is a dummy). Corsham remained a highly classified object, and it was used to a limited extent as a reserve, primarily so that there was a point of attraction for missiles somewhere, which, if it survived, could turn out to be a useful object later. After 1968, Korsham continued to work in radio networks as a control object, generating traffic that was monitored by both land, sea and space radio and radio intelligence facilities of the USSR. The British believed that this would be enough for disinformation, but they still did not take into account the factor of agent intelligence. In the USSR, they knew or suspected that the old aircraft factory was no longer the main bunker for the top of the Kingdom.



Under the new plans, the UK government was essentially split into two groups. At the start of the crisis, the prime minister appointed a number of deputies (the number varied, but somewhere between 4-6) who were mid-level ministers. These ministers will, in effect, become "prime ministers (appointed)" in a ranking order, and then team up with a small group of roughly 100-250 people, recruited from the military and more civilian specialists and officials.

These crisis teams were then to be dispatched throughout the country to various predetermined locations, including remote locations in Scotland and Aberystwyth University. Three specially military installations, including Bovington (this is where the famous tank museum, in particular), HMS Osprey (this was an unused anti-submarine training facility in Portland, in the bay, on an artificial jetty) and RNAS Culdrose (an airfield aviation in Cornwall), where three groups will arrive. Then they will shut up, hide, and then they will wait for when and where the warheads will arrive. Who will survive - by seniority will take over the leadership. Although the choice of targets seems dubious, in particular, the naval aviation airbase would certainly have been hit, and not alone. But the idea itself didn't seem stupid. But its execution raises doubts.

Meanwhile, it was believed that the "war cabinet" of the government itself would remain in London to the end - not a single declassified document mentions high-ranking members of the government who "fled" from London. Instead, the function of the Cabinet would be to order the use of nuclear weaponand then die under the ruins of the Ministry of Defense, in a bunker located in PINDAR (no laughing matter - this is the "Defense Crisis Management Center"). The fact that this procedure and the very methods of managing nuclear weapons in Britain are archaic, like the tradition of eating oatmeal in the morning - in one of the publications the author considered here. Britain never had a hint of an early warning system, so they could “play” either from external information about the strike (and it's not a fact that Washington would not forget to do this, although one of their radars is located in Britain, in Filingdale Moore ), or wait for the first arrivals of "goodies".

After the strike (they seriously thought that there would be one strike, apparently), the PYTHON plan groups from their shelters, through the surviving radio networks of the "territorial defense forces", would try to establish contact with what was left of the government, and then find out which of them became the main one. At this point, the oldest surviving "appointed prime minister" will be the prime minister of what is left of Britain.

Save the Windsor family - or part of it


The role of the military in all this is much more significant than it might seem at first glance. First, the army was responsible for protecting the royal family, whose wartime plans and whereabouts were never revealed. There was a top secret CANDID plan (well, they have reductions, in the Russian ear, either with fungal diseases, or even, sorry, with sexual minorities), according to which members of the Windsor family will be divided into two groups and sent across the UK under escort Crown Guard units based at Windsor Palace. It turns out that there would be some military protection for the groups themselves, and they would take refuge in military installations or near them. One can only imagine the reaction of the base or facility commander to the sudden discovery on the eve of the war that they should have accommodated the likely future British Prime Minister in a very short time and without prior planning. Or members of the highest family. It is also interesting, and who and how in the highest family decided where and who would go to hide, and whether there were personal preferences of the queen herself? We know that Elizabeth II is a very mischievous and vindictive grandmother, they have a family relationship, and she would have sent her unloved relatives to take refuge in a safe place ... next to the submarine base, for example. But, since the details of this plan are still under the stamp, one can guess indefinitely.

The use of ships was also planned fleet - It is believed that the royal yacht Britannia and the auxiliary helicopter carrier Engadine (decommissioned in 1989) should have been assigned to accommodate the PYTHON group sailing to places as yet unclear. Or for members of the royal family. In all likelihood, these ships should have taken refuge somewhere on the west coast of Scotland, in numerous sea lakes, which would provide good shelter and would remain very secluded. Loch Torridon is often suggested by researchers now as a likely refuge for the group - which is quite logical, since there is also a beautiful majestic palace (now a hotel), which, if necessary, can provide accommodation for VIPs.

Also, at least three ferries on the Scottish line, the Caledonian McBrine, were built with various “non-peaceful” improvements, including a “citadel” of protection against radiation, chemical and biological threats, HLF and decontamination system pumps. It seems highly likely that in the event of war, a large part of the British government would be afloat in the Royal Navy or chartered ship, trying to decide what to do next. However, remembering that the British prime ministers are still writing "letters from the other world" to SSBN commanders leaving on patrols, where there may be advice such as "go to the Americans" or "go to Australia" or "go surrender to the Russians" (a joke, but exclude not) - planning has a very, let's say, low level.

You can't get away from paying for Russophobia


It is difficult to look back to understand how reliable these plans were. However, from a practical point of view, it is interesting to imagine how they would work. The British government had to plan for its own destruction, but there was no way it could test any of these plans in advance. As, however, and any other. But the very approach of the British to such a task still smacks of a certain naivety. The British even got their own VKP very late, almost in the 80-90s.

Could the PYTHON plan have worked? In practical terms, the idea is not stupid, but the execution scheme itself is weak - a small group of disparate officials and officers, brought together with little or no warning and without prior training or knowledge of their roles, would not constitute a convincing and effective “substitute” for central government. On the other hand, at least some sort of selection for psychological and business qualities should have been carried out, and who knows how these survivors would have shown themselves if they were in a country badly destroyed and with numerous vitrified craters glowing at night. After all, Britain is given an important place in its nuclear plans, both the USSR and the Russian Federation, and the survivors there in any case should have envied the dead, as the typically British “business man” John Silver used to say. And the British themselves are to blame for this important place of their country in other people's plans, their consistently Russophobic policy, and even in the wake of Washington. After all, if the "Englishwoman crap" constantly herself and helps others, sooner or later everything will return to her a hundredfold. If he doesn't wiser. But, it seems, they are not given to grow wiser ...

          In general, the radiation falls off rather quickly and in a year, at most, you can return and live again. Not everywhere, of course, where the induced radiation will be high or more long-lived isotopes are formed, of course not. But there won't be very many such places if cobalt "bonbs" are not used.

              In reactors, there are initially long-lived isotopes, so if a release occurs, it hurts. And the explosion produces short-lived isotopes. This is the fundamental difference. I have already written about the induced radiation.

    Britain is in a zone of total destruction by our medium-range nuclear weapons. Therefore, the survival / non-survival of the British leadership has no practical meaning - it will have nothing to lead. The plans to disperse the leadership made at least some sense in the 1960s due to the limited number of nuclear warheads in the USSR. But since the end of the 1980s, we have been able to deliver a nuclear missile strike against all European countries using the square-nest method.

        On the contrary, proceeding from the strategy of escalating the nuclear conflict, it is useful to "glaze" exactly Europe at the first step without any exchange of strikes on the national territories of the United States and the Russian Federation - like first "glaze" and then look at the consequences from both sides.

        At the same time, it should be understood that nuclear strikes in Europe will be delivered precisely from two sides, since at the initial stage of hostilities from our side, a demonstrative airborne assault will be carried out at key points of the subcontinent, plus a rapid crossing of the border with neighboring countries by tank and motorized rifle formations of the RF Armed Forces. Therefore, no territorial troops (so beloved in Poland and the Baltic states) will not be able to enter into action on the territory of continuous radioactive contamination.

          There is a double-edged sword. After the landing of troops and the use of even tactical nuclear weapons, the British and French will cut nuclear weapons across Russia, especially after crossing state borders with tank wedges.
          They will be glazed, but we will get it too. And the States and China will sit on the sidelines and rub their hands. Weakened Russia, albeit against the background of the loss of the world's second largest sales market.

              Again, mutually exclusive statements)) As soon as our early warning system sees the first Tridents from British submarines, the transition to the use of strategic nuclear weapons in full volume will immediately begin. For Trident is precisely an ICBM, and here no one will find out what power the nuclear warhead has - a full-fledged one or a "pop".

              Britain is in a zone of total destruction by our medium-range nuclear weapons.

              Here I completely agree. The Russians have special accounts for this island. There, in the event of a nuclear war, we will asphalt in full, regardless of the development of events in other theaters of operations. By the way, not only the EU will get it - it will fly to the same pseudo-neutral Switzerland, Israel (which seems to have nothing to do with it), the Arab monarchies, and even distant Singapore (the status of a "global city" obliges).

                In the European theater of operations, at the first stage, it is exclusively square-nested, which does not cancel, but on the contrary, replaces the subsequent raids of our tanks and motorized infantry in filter-protected combat vehicles to the English Channel.

                At the Academy of the General Staff of the USSR Armed Forces in the late 1980s, they were taught to use a dozen tactical nuclear charges with a capacity of 100 Ktn each in the offensive zone of a tank / motorized rifle division in the direction of the main strike, plus about ten chemical munitions with nerve gas of the Novichok type - for those who will survive in anti-nuclear bunkers.

    The British government had to plan for its own destruction, but there was no way it could test any of these plans in advance. As, however, and any other. But the very approach of the British to such a task still smacks of a certain naivety.

    Not only naivety, but also stupidity, because it is difficult to imagine who these "surviving members of the government" would rule if the whole country were in ruins. Apparently he forgot the bombing of Coventry, and this would have happened with all the cities of Great Britain, but moreover, with radioactive damage to the population.
    In 1940, 500 German bombers raided the English city of Coventry and dropped 600 tons of high explosive bombs and thousands of incendiary bombs on it. 586 residents were killed, about 60 thousand buildings were destroyed, including the old cathedral.

    600 tons of TNT looks ridiculous against the background of 150 kilotons, which would not have left ruins at all.

    Before making fun of the fact that the WB did not have an early warning system - you need to think, but was it any good for them to build it? By geographic standards, the WB was what is called "close by" and the flight time of missiles before it would have been minimal. The cycle of verification and response would be the same as in the case of a warning from the United States - it would not have been possible to evacuate sensibly, to hope that with the technologies of those years it would be possible to develop some kind of anti-missile (such as SM-3) and produce them in sufficient quantities ( despite the fact that the WB economy and their missile competence were not in the best shape) - it was not possible.
    Due to the short arrival time and doubling (at least) of the subjects (relatively non-monarchies) required for evacuation and preservation, these plans do not seem such a dull anachronism.

      Or members of the highest family.



      Most likely, in the event of the complete death of all close relatives, the end of the Windsor dynasty and the beginning of a new dynasty from the surviving aristocrats and even from the current politicians and high officials are simply planned. For monarchies this is a historical norm and there is no reason for them to abandon such a mechanism in a "nuclear monarchy".
