In Russia, the development of a new aircraft “Judgment Day” began, which will replace IL-80. This was stated in an interview with “Interfax” Head of the Ministry of Industry and Communist Party of Russia Denis Manturov.
“Works in this direction are being conducted,” Manturov said, adding that military department was the initiator. – Russian aviation industry can produce aircraft of all classes, including aircraft of this purpose. “
Judgment Day aircraft are used to evacuate the country’s leadership in the event of the complete destruction of ground and satellite infrastructure. The most likely condition for the use of such a board is a nuclear war. Airplanes are equipped with equipment that allows you to manage all kinds of troops and can refuel in the air. Their fuselages are not equipped with portholes.
had previously been reported on the start of construction of the Judgment Day aircraft in Voronezh based on IL-96-400M. Air-and-space forces will receive two such aircraft, and the project itself got the name “link-3c”. The filling of the aircraft will allow you to bring orders to ground and underwater launchers in the radius of six thousand kilometers.
