  1. Wow… these comments are filled with some serious morons. The aircraft was to fly at 500 feet over a major city, something it was never designed to do, and something that’s very risky even in ideal weather. Add low visibility or gusty winds and it simply becomes too dangerous. It clearly flew the day before, in practice, as seen and told in the video.

  2. It’s literally newer than the US versions.

  3. Not at 500 feet over a major city it can’t.

  4. It’s not a shattering issue. That guy’s a moron. It’s an EMP shielding issue. The aircraft is lined with shielding from electromagnetic pulses that are released by nuclear weapons, to protect the C4 equipment.

  5. It’s absolutely in a ready state to fly, as you can see in the video. It just isn’t meant to fly at 500 feet in low visibility. It also isn’t an “Air Force One”. First off, ANY USAF aircraft that has the President on board takes on the call sign “Air Force One”, just as if it’s a US Navy aircraft it becomes “Navy One”, any Coast Guard aircraft becomes “Coast Guard One”, etc. The US Presidential transport aircraft is the VC-25A. There are two of them and they’re identical. They are NOT “doomsday” planes. USAF has four E-4 aircraft that fill that role. They are also heavily modified 747-200s, and have a similar paint job to the VC-25, but are equipped completely differently, with tons of command & control, communications, and shielding, but without guest/media seating. They typically transport the SECDEF and joint chiefs, but they transport the President as well. They are the Doomsday planes the US has. The plane in the video is Russia’s version of the E-4.
