The E-4B 'Nightwatch' aircraft, designed to withstand nuclear attacks and belonging to U.S. President Donald Trump, landed near Washington D.C. amid ongoing discussions about potential military operations against Iran. This aircraft is specifically designed to ensure the safety of the U.S. President and military leaders during major emergencies.
Donald Trump's nuclear attack-resistant E-4B "Nightwatch" aircraft landed near Washington DC amid ongoing discussions about possible military operations against Iran.
The plane took off from Louisiana and arrived late at night at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, just a few hours after Trump's crisis meeting at the White House. The unusual flight path and the special call signs used suggested that the movement was not a routine training flight.
What is the 'Doomsday Plane'?
This aircraft is specifically designed for the safety of the U.S. President and military leaders in major emergencies. It is resistant to nuclear explosions and electromagnetic attacks. With a capacity of 111 people, it can refuel in the air and fly for over 35 hours. Additionally, it can establish instant communication with all leaders around the world through advanced communication systems.
The relocation of the aircraft near the capital has strengthened claims that the U.S. is preparing for military intervention against Iran. In recent days, dozens of U.S. fighter jets and refueling aircraft have landed in Europe. The USS Nimitz aircraft carrier has also been directed to the Middle East. While the U.S. Department of Defense confirmed that additional military forces have been deployed to the region, it stated that these troops are for "defensive purposes."
Trump's threat to Iran's religious leader, stating "We know where you are hiding," has further escalated tensions.
Although no official decision for an attack has been announced yet, the activity in Washington is noteworthy.
