Three Nuclear War Command Planes Airborne Over the U.S.

 

Excerpt from Article: In a move that signals the highest possible state of nuclear readiness, open-source flight trackers have detected three U.S. "Doomsday Planes" (E-4B Nightwatch) airborne simultaneously over the continental United States this Sunday afternoon. These aircraft, which serve as flying command centers for the President and the Secretary of Defense, are designed to survive a nuclear blast and direct a retaliatory strike even if ground-based communications are destroyed.

While it is common for one E-4B to be on alert, having three airborne at once is practically unheard of in peacetime and is widely interpreted as a signal that the Pentagon expects an imminent strategic threat. This deployment comes less than 24 hours after Iran claimed to have nuclear weapons paired with Russian Oreshnik missiles, and shortly after Ayatollah Araki threatened a "Global Jihad" if the U.S. attempts a decapitation strike.

Defense analysts suggest this is a calculated message of deterrence: Washington is demonstrating that its "nuclear triad" is fully operational and that the chain of command cannot be broken, regardless of what attacks might be launched against the capital.
