NATO vs Soviet Union WW3 Simulation - How Would Cold War Britain Respond to Russian Attack? (1976)

Подробнее о видео

A compilation of special reports broadcast between 15 and 22 March 1976, in which ITN's Peter Snow examines how Britain would respond to Soviet attack by land, sea and air. In the first of five reports, Snow looked at the military balance of power between the Cold War superpowers and their allies, the prevailing nuclear doctrine of mutually assured destruction (MAD), and how the Soviet Union's growing arsenal of conventional weapons threatened to upset the precarious nuclear stalemate. In the second report, Snow examined how British forces stationed in West Germany would respond to a Soviet land invasion of Central Europe. Snow's third report looked at the Soviets' capability to attack with mines and missiles at sea, and the Royal Navy's ability to counter the threat. Next, Snow reported on the strength of the USSR's submarine fleet compared to the UK's. And finally, Snow looked at the military balance in the air, and how the West's air defence system would respond in the event of Russian attack.
