America’s ‘doomsday’ plane has been seen being prepped for action, 24 hours after Vladimir Putin’s aircraft for use in the event of nuclear war with the West was seen flying over Moscow.
The E-4B Nightwatch, an airborne command centre for the US President in times of war, has today pictured being refuelled over southern California.
Test pilots and personnel from the 418th Flight Test Squadron, out of Edwards Air Force Base, California, conducted the aerial refuelling testing with a KC-46 Pegasus tanker in April.
