US Prepping For Nuclear War? USAF Orders New “Doomsday Plane” To Replace Ageing E-4B Nightwatch

The US Air Force said it had awarded a $13 billion contract to Sierra Nevada Corp to replace the E-4B Nightwatch “doomsday plane” that would fly during a nuclear war. The Survivable Airborne Operations Center (SAOC) project is intended to replace the ageing 1970s-era aircraft, which is approaching end-of-service life. The company will develop and produce the SAOC and is expected to finish the work by July 10, 2036, said the US Air Force. The US Air Force is obligating $59 million in research, development, test and evaluation funds to Sierra Nevada to start work on the SAOC project right away. Watch the video to find out more.
