Doomsday plane (Russia)

The Doomsday plane is a planned Airborne Command Post to be operated by the Russian Air Force. It is based on the Ilyushin Il-96-400-M commercial aircraft airframe and is scheduled to replace the older Ilyushin Il-80 models introduced in the early 1990s.

The production of the aircraft was delayed multiple times and is now scheduled to be started in 2024.
