n the event of a nuclear war, the Russian president would board the aircraft, where they could order the launch of intercontinental ballistic missiles and make other strategic decisions.
With no external windows except in the cockpit, the aircraft are designed to have some protection from the effects of a nuclear blast. The US operates a similar fleet of airborne command posts, called E-4B Nightwatch.
In May last year, Russia's Deputy Defence Minister Alexei Krivoruchko said work was under way to upgrade and re-equip the Il-80s, which have been in use since 1987.
A new generation of airborne command posts are reported to be in development as well.
