Trump readies 'doomsday' plane? US' 'flying war room' spotted after 51 years amid Russia tensions?

The United States’ E-4B Nightwatch aircraft, known as the “Doomsday Plane,” was flown to Maryland on January 6, drawing attention amid escalating tensions with Russia and Iran. The highly secure aircraft, designed to function as the National Airborne Operations Center during nuclear or national emergencies, arrived from Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska. The deployment comes as Washington seizes Russian-linked oil tankers, Moscow ramps up missile strikes on Ukraine using its nuclear-capable Oreshnik system, and unrest deepens inside Iran. Officials say the E-4B ensures uninterrupted command authority during extreme crisis scenarios.
