When the complex was built in the 1960's, it was designed to withstand any Soviet nuclear strike.

The computer stages a massive Soviet first strike with hundreds of missiles, submarines, and bombers.

Rumors from other radio operators range from a Soviet preemptive strike to terrorism.

When the bunker was completed in 1966, it was designed to withstand a 31-megaton Soviet nuclear strike.

Initially, the program focused on large scale systems designed to defeat a Soviet offensive strike.

He made news in 1969 by warning that China could face a Soviet nuclear strike if it did not make up with Soviet leaders.

In part, "overkill" was part of a plausible strategy for deterring a Soviet first strike.
