"The Moscow rollover was the big one. The Russian military’s highly centralized command-and-control system meant that anything truly catastrophic would occur in Moscow first, then radiate outward through linked computer systems or trigger human errors farther afield. Among the Americans’ greatest fears was that a Russian missile commander might receive incorrect early-warning information from a Y2K-affected radar system; this could inspire needless retaliation." https://www.newyorker.com/tech/annals-of-technology/when-rus... |
