Russian "Judicial Day Aircraft" learned to contact atomic submarines

As it turned out, with the help of long -range radio waves "Judicial Day" is able to exchange information even through the water column. However, for this purpose, the submarine must release a special towing and immersed communication antenna on the surface. In 2020, representatives of the Holding "roelectronics" reported that the scientific and production enterprise "Flight" was trying to improve the communication systems of IL-80 with the help of new technologies.

Engineers sought to increase the reliability of managing the strategic forces and forces of the general purpose of the Russian army. IL-80 (IL-86) is an air command center created on the basis of the IL-86 civilian airliner. Thanks to him, the Russian authorities, in particular the President, will be able to control troops during the nuclear war in the event of failure of land management points and communication systems. For this in the west, he was called "Judicial Day" and "Air Kremlin".

According to open sources, the air space forces of the Russian Federation have four such vehicles. Il-80 was created in the 1980s, and in 1985 it made the first flight. It is known that there are no illuminates on the plane, so you can only look from the cabin of pilots. Interesting Engineering notes that the Russians test the connection between atomic submarines and a "plane of the judgment" against the background of war in Ukraine and various threats to nuclear weapons.

At the same time, such tests are usually planned in advance and require long -term preparation, so you should not accept the message as provocation from the Russian Federation. Moreover, the tests with IL-80 have not acquired as widely as other military developments in Russia. Earlier, they wrote that on May 3, Vladimir Putin's Judgment Day aircraft was noticed over Moscow.
