American is set to get a new fleet of 'doomsday planes' that some have said signal the nation could be preparing for World Ward III.
The US Air Forced announced a $13 billion contract to develop craft to replace the aging Boeing planes that are used to protect the president during a nuclear attack.
The funds were awarded to Sierra Nevada Corp, which will design a successor to the E-4B 'Nightwatch' that features a mobile command post capable of withstanding nuclear blasts and electromagnetic effects.
The project, called Survival Airborne Operations Center, is expected to be completed by 2036.
The current war climate has some believing the world is heading toward a nuclear war, as Russia has threatened to place nukes in space.
The Ukrainian war with the nation is still continuing and now there is conflict in the Middle East between Israel and Palestine.
The Air Force has a fleet of four E-4Bs, with at least one on alert at all times, but the Boeings are aging and many parts have become obsolete.
Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC), an American aerospace company, said: 'SNC is building the airborne command center of the future!
'SAOC is a highly specialized aircraft that ensures continued critical command, control and communication during national emergencies for POTUS, Secretary of Defense and Joint Chiefs of Staff.
'We're honored to support this important mission.'
Boeing was let go as the sole provider of the doomsday planes in December 2023 after the company and US military could not agree on pricing for the next-generation fleet.
Details of SNC's design have not been shared, but the craft will likely resemble the current E-4B 'Nightwatch.'

They want to spend Trillions.
Who’s going to stop them?
The Republican Senate? Lindsey and Susan Collins?
The Republican House? Johnson and his Deep State actors?
One doesn’t just whip one of these planes together. Acting like this is a surprise is just silly.
Signal the Boomers to let fly.
If you recall your war history you know there’s only ever been one airplane proved impervious to EMP.
The Boeing B-29 Superfortress.
Yep, looks like it is going to be retrofits of used 747’s:

Fears that America is prepping for WWIII have been heightened after an announcement President Biden has ordered new “doomsday” planes.
A $13 billion contract will see Colorado company Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) deliver replacements for the E-4B Nightwatch, an airborne command center for the U.S. President that can survive nuclear war.
The U.S. Air Force says the aircraft would be used in times of destruction by an enemy of ground command and control centers.
The current E-4 platforms were built in the 1970s and are reaching the end of their operational lifespans.
SNC said on Sunday (28 April): “SNC is building the airborne command center of the future! SAOC is a highly specialized aircraft that ensures continued critical command, control and communication during national emergencies for POTUS, SECDEF and CJCS. We’re honored to support this important mission.”
The U.S. Department of Defense confirmed in an announcement Friday that SNC was awarded the contract for the Survivable Airborne Operations Center (SAOC).

They added that work will be performed in Englewood, Colorado; Sparks, Nevada; Beavercreek, Ohio; and Vandalia, Ohio, and is expected to be completed by July 10, 2036.
The Air Force said in the FY2024 budget request that SAOC will provide “a worldwide, survivable, and enduring node of the National Military Command System (NMCS) to fulfill national security requirements throughout all stages of conflict.”
It added: “As a command, control and communications center directing US forces, executing emergency war orders and coordinating the activities of civil authorities including national contingency plans, this capability ensures continuity of operations and continuity of government as required in a national emergency or after negation/destruction of ground command and control centers.
“SAOC will fulfill the requirements of the AF Nuclear Mission by providing Nuclear Command, Control and Communications (NC3) capabilities to enable the exercise of authority and direction by the President to command and control US military nuclear weapons operations.”
The E-4 series have previously been specially modified Boeing 747-200B aircraft, however Boeing confirmed in December 2023 it was no longer competing for the SAOC contract. SNC have not revealed what airframe they will use for their doomsday planes.
Why would there be fears we’re prepping for WW3 with a system to be ready in 12 years?
“They’re replacing an existing system” AND it “is expected to be completed by 2036.”
Really stupid writing, isn’t it?
Biden would have be president
for the next three terms
before he is able to
board this plane.
The WWIII scare tied to
this plane is nuts.
Oh, it says twelve years but Boeing can crank it up if Biden gets re-elected and forgives them their DEI caused disasters.
Der Fuhrer Biden needs his world wide cruising jet that can stay airborne for weeks with planned refueling from pre stationed dedicated tankers.Der Fuhrer just presses the big red button while at 30 thousand feet over Diego Garcia and watches the world burn.
Happy endings?
Seriously.The privileged class looks after itself.I wouldn’t give him a horse and carriage.
That is true, and I don't know that I would want to survive a nuclear war. I've read the ending and I know Jesus wins and we will be in a much better place.Come quickly Lord Jesus!
I’ve lived in the energy capital of the USA (Houston area), other than my time in the Navy, so in the event of a nuclear attack, I am not planning to survive, as we’re a prime target for any enemy.
As a Christian, I’ve made peace with that - and not worried about that, if a nuclear attack does occur.
