Original Note:
Most nuclear nations (US, Russia, China, UK, France) possess "second strike" capabilities, whereupon they can fire their nuclear arsenals in retaliation even if their leadership is wiped out. This is mostly accomplished thanks to ballistic missile submarines. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_strike https://power.lowyinstitute.org/data/resilience/nuclear-deterrence/nuclear-second-strike-capability/
