The refueling process of the Russian Il-86VzPU aircraft, which is called the "Doomsday plane", was shown in the photo. A rare shot was published by a retired military pilot and author of the Telegram channel Fighterbomber.
The photo, taken from a tanker plane, shows the Il-86VzPU. The plane receives fuel through a refueling boom.
Not just a rare, but a very rare photograph of the refueling of the Il-86, the "Doomsday plane". In the world, it is not called so interesting, so let it be so.
Il-86VzPU is designed to evacuate the country's top military leadership and simultaneously control the Armed Forces in various conflicts, including nuclear war.
The aircraft is equipped with electronic equipment for controlling all types of troops. The "Doomsday plane" features a reinforced structure that reduces the effects of a possible nuclear explosion.
