Moscow: Russia is getting two high-tech ‘Doomsday’ planes, designed to house the country’s leadership in the event of a nuclear conflict.
According to an unnamed source in the military-industrial industry, the first of the new planes is now under construction, reports RIA Novosti, replacing the existing Ilyushin Il-80 Maxdomes, which are on permanent standby.
With the latest technology, the newly built aircraft will have a much longer range and even be able to communicate with submarines within a 6,000km radius.
The new planes, like their predecessors, can also refuel mid-flight and will be accompanied by fighter jets.
However, many details about the new planes will remain a mystery, as information about the aircraft and their contents are classified as state secrets.
