Vulnerability of nuclear defence control systems

The command and control systems for nuclear defence are much more vulnerable than has been officially proclaimed. Ground-based systems could be relatively easily overrun, airborne systems are vulnerable to radioactive dust and to destruction of launch sites, submarines can be isolated, and satellite systems can be destroyed by nuclear explosions in space.
