Russia prepares for NUCLEAR WAR with launch of ‘invincible’ Doomsday Plane

The military has completed tests for a flying nerve centre on board a giant modified Ilyushin Il-80 aircraft.

Its manufacturers boast the mobile war room will be "invincible”.

But president Vladimir Putin has reportedly ordered it ready within a fortnight as the Russian Bear is on the brink of war with Turkey – and therefore NATO, the US and Britain.

Jewish oracles predicted the end of the world would start with war between Russia and Turkey 200 years ago.

The strategic aerial HQ is scrambled when bases on the ground are at risk of being wiped out or communication infrastructure has been disrupted.

The Il-80 will carry senior generals, an operational team of staff officers and a crew of technicians to maintain the aircraft’s equipment.

The mobile command unit will enable military leaders to direct the army, navy, air force – and fearsome arsenal of nuclear missiles.

The US is the only other country in the world to possess the elite weapon.

Aleksandr Komyakov, director general of the research team behind the project, said the superplane was "invincible”.

He said: "While [command] installations with known ground positions could be eliminated, an airborne command post is a target hard to disable because it shifts continuously.

"The Americans call this type of aircraft ‘doomsday planes’.”

He said their main task is "establishing [communications] networks in extremely unfavourable circumstances – with ground infrastructure missing or destroyed.”

Relations between Russia and the West thawed after the end of the Cold War – but have frozen over once again under Putin’s strong-arm leadership.

Putin has slowly but surely been ramping up defence spending to replace the country’s rusting Soviet-era hardware with the weapons of future war.

Russia launches a battle satellite to prepare for the real Star Wars last month.

Putin – a former KGB agent – fell out with Britain over our handling of Russia dissidents like Alexander Litvinenko – who was bumped off in London after annoying the Kremlin.

Putin clashed with the rest of Europe and the US – incurring worldwide sanctions – after Russia annexed Crimea and tried to carve out new territory within the Ukraine.
