The transfer of the American E-6B Mercury plane, nicknamed the doomsday plane, to Europe is nothing but a “muscle game” declaration political scientist, head of the Crimean regional public organization “Political Education Center” Ivan Mezyuho on the broadcast of the 360 TV channel. According to him, the West thus shows that it is ready to “fight to the end”.
“This is a muscle game. Absolutely stupid waste of American taxpayers’ budget money. <…> It would be naive to believe that one of our political leadership is afraid of this plane. It is absurd to even argue, ”Mezyuho said.
According to him, for Russia, moving the E-6B to Europe will not change anything, because the country is ready for any developments a year after the start of the conflict in Ukraine.
1 March US European Command reported About the transfer of the E-6B aircraft to Iceland. The aircraft is designed to communicate with strategic nuclear submarines carrying intercontinental ballistic missiles (SSBNs).
