درباره این اپیزود
Just after midnight at Serpukhov-15 in 1983, Soviet early-warning satellites falsely reported a U.S. missile strike. Lieutenant Colonel Stanislav Petrov, facing urgent alarms and extreme time pressure, judged the alert implausible and reported it as a false alarm, waiting for corroboration that never came.
