Russia Tests ‘Flying Kremlin’ Il-86 Aircraft To Communicate With Nuclear Ballistic Missile Submarines – Reports
The Il- 80 was tested for communication with submerged strategic bullet submarines. The aircraft can maintain regular communication with the submarine through the water column, ” RIA Novosti quoted a source.
The source further said thatultra-long swells insure communication between the aircraft and the submerged submarine through an extended submersible communication antenna hauled by the submarine.
Nicknamed “ The Flying Kremlin, ” the Ilyushin Il- 80 is meant to be an airborne command and control post to enable President Putin to retain command over Russian force in the event of a nuclear war, which could fail ground control points, bumps, and commAunication lines.
From this airborne command post, President Putin should be suitable to issue nuclear strike orders to his forces, including Russia’s nuclear ballistic bullet submarines, for which dependable communication systems are demanded that must serve duly aquatic.
In 2020, the Russian state- possessed holding company Ruselectronics reported that one of its enterprises, the NPP Polet, is working on the modernization of the communication systems of the Il- 80 air control center to increase the trustability of command and control of the strategic and general forces of the Russian Armed Forces.
The Ilyushin II- 80 is a Soviet- period aircraft that reportedly first flew in 1985. It was developed using the Ilyushin’s II- 86 marketable aircraft model but is still visibly veritably different from its marketable counterpart.
According to open sources, there are four Il- 80 aircraft. While their deliveries began in 1987, Western media first observed their breakouts only in 1992, when the aircraft is believed to have been accepted into service.
The calling name for the aircraft is Maxdome, although some also relate to it as ‘ Camber, ’ a surname used by marketable navigation for II- 86s.Unlike its marketable counterpart, the Maxdome doesn’t have cabin windows, and while its cockpit retains its windows, they’re blocked by a cocoon.The changes were introduced to cover the passengers from an electromagnetic palpitation( EMP) or nuclear explosion. The number of aircraft’s upper sundeck doors has been reduced, with only one airstair remaining.
A big SATCOM canoe rests on top of the fuselage in the front with large antennae in its posterior. The aircraft’s tail also houses a winch for a hauled, veritably low frequence( VLF) antenna, while vertical stabilizers also have space for fresh detectors or communication antennas.The aircraft also has two sizeable electrical creator capsules inside its machines, with air input scoops and spurt exhausts at their ends. A retractable refueling inquiry is placed below the cockpit.
Il- 80 Spotted Over Moscow
In April, the Il- 80 was spotted flying around Moscow, causing ripples within the Western strategic community that President Putin was trying to gesture to the West that Russia could resort to using nuclear munitions.
In the Footage, the Il- 80 passed low over Moscow megacity’s outskirts. According to Russian officers, the aircraft was bearing practices ahead of the periodic Victory Day cortege in Red Square, during which it was intended to perform a low flypast.
Since the Maxdome has not been seen at a Victory Day commemoration since 2010, its reappearance amid the ongoing Ukraine war was seen as a sign that President Putin is trying to shoot a warning communication to the West.
The Il- 80 was planned to be attended by two MiG- 29s as it flew downward over St Basil’s Edifice, but the flyover couldn’t be because all aircraft flypasts were suddenly canceled.

The Kremlin said the military flyovers had been canceled because of adverse rainfall conditions, but some experts suggested the flyovers could have been canceled due to security enterprises.
Russia Is Working On New ‘ Doomsday Aeroplanes ’The Ilyushin II- 80 will be replaced by more advanced Ilyushin 96- 400Ms, making it easier for the RussianPresident to oversee Russian colors and dumdums during a nuclear war.Ria Novosti reported last time that Russia is working on two new Doomsday aeroplanesto carry the country’s elderly service and political leaders in the event of a nuclear assault.
The Il-96-400M is an upgraded interpretation of the long- range, wide- body mercenary jetliner Il- 96. An Il- 96 variant presently serves as President Vladimir Putin’s favored mode of air trip, analogous to the Air Force One of the United States.According to reports, both Russian aeroplaneswill be refashioned at the Voronezh Aircraft Production Association’s aeronautics assembly factory. While the first aeroplaneis now being erected, it isn’t anticipated to be ready for use anytime soon.
