Is it possible to run a country from the sky even in a nuclear war?
The Boeing E-4B, or 'Doomsday Plane', is a special US military aircraft designed to operate the country from the sky in the event of a nuclear war or major disaster. It can carry top officials, including the president, to command and communicate. It can stay in the air for days, can communicate with submarines, and is protected from nuclear explosions and cyber-attacks. It essentially becomes an alternative government center floating in the sky if the ground-based command is destroyed.
