Russian "Doomsday Plane" Spotted Flying By Finland Border
The last time the Russian "Doomsday Plane" was seen in the air doing its trademark loops at 27,000 feet telegraphing Vladimir Putin was somewhere nearby, was on March 31, just days after the formerly Ukrainian region was annexed by the Kremlin. Until today, when over the past 4 hours, the Tu-214 has been quietly circling in position just shy of Finland and the Baltics, where as it is known, NATO has been depositing hundreds of western soldiers in a "defensive" build up.
What is the "Doomsday Plane"? Here is a reminder:
The Tupolev Tu-214SR is a Russian Special Mission Aircraft believed to act as a communication relay aircraft. This kind of aircraft is often dispatched by the Russian Air Force to accompany Putin’s presidential aircraft on its travels and for this reason it is considered the Russian version of the U.S. E-4B, a so-called “doomsday” plane, with an airborne command and control role.
* * *
America isn't the only superpower with a "Doomsday Plane" for its head of state. When Russian President Vladimir Putin needs to escape danger, he hops aboard this top-secret flying communications center.
A special missions variant of the Tupolev Tu-214 commercial transport aircraft, the Tu-214SR is Russia's answer to the US E-4B, an airborne command and control plane built specifically for the Russian president's use and considered successor to the Ilyushin Il-20 Coot, which has been in service for the better part of four decades. Produced by Aviastar SP and Kazan Aircraft Production Association, the twin-engine, long-endurance jet can carry 62 passengers with comparable range and speed to a Boeing 757. But unlike the Boeing, the Tu-214SR is packed to the gills with cutting-edge sensor and communications equipment.
While significantly less is known about capabilities of the 214SR than the E-4B , we do know that it carries an MRC-411 multi-intelligence payload, which includes electronic intelligence (ELINT) sensors, side-looking Synthetic Aperture Radar (to spot incoming air threats from long range), and a variety of Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) and Communications Intelligence (COMINT) equipment. Four onboard generators provide ample amperage while a set of external fuel tanks allow the plane to remain aloft for trips up to 10,000 km.
The two such 214SRs entered service in 2008 with the Presidential Special Applications Squad and are operated by a crew of four. However, the plane was only declassified last year when it made its public debut at the Moscow Air Show. Since then, it's been spotted in the skies above both the Sochi Olympics, and more recently—and ominously—in Crimea.
Why was the Doomsday Plane circling so close to the Baltics today of all days, and is this nothing but a welcome sign from Russia to the NATO build out in Eastern and Central Europe? And does it indicate that Putin was - as he usually does - either traveling in the vicinity, or is it an omen of something more ominous?
As can be seen on the image below (courtesy of Flightradar24), after circling for hours just east of the Finland border, it is now en route to land back in St. Petersburg, from where it took off several hours ago.

Russian aircraft are generally butt-simple and designed for forward implementation without support equipement or the need for long runways. I had a buddy that worked on some MiGs (15, 17, and 21)and he said that didn't even use locking nuts, the manuals just called for peening over the ends of the bolts. Simple, effective, and with a particular kind of functional elegance.
Some of our Neocons need ball peening so they do not lose another screw and start yet another useless war.
Bullish for ball-peen hammers then...
Some of our Neocons...
Luv it....
Had to log in for that one...
Be safe all...

I would like to remind everyone that by the law of: the friend of my enemy is my enemy, anyone who is NOT a pinko hippy commy must hate Putin because German intellectuals are ALL the following:
1) Pansy ass Europeans who are all socialists who hate Merica, and the troop.
2) Pansy ass eco-trrrsss who hate freedom-n-democracy.
3) Pansy ass intellectuals just like Paul Krugman, who also loves Obamacare
So, if the Pansy ass European socialists who hate freedom-n-democracy and love Obamacare also like Putin that means the Libertarians have to hate Putin.
Sorry, but rules are rules.
You don't know shit about German Intellectuals, and I downvoted you for gratuitous stupidity.
I'm gonna have to guess you don't know shit about sarcasm, as I don't know how it's possible for anyone to read that post in any other light.

The first capital city of Russia was Kiev; does that tell you anything about your chances of Western success? Imagine Philadelphia becoming an ally of the Chinese.
The peoples republic of Philly is an ally of the Chinese - at least thats how they vote.
Well, Philly also has a history of dropping bombs from helicopters on itself.
The pilot is full of vodka, as usual.
So is Joe Biden.

Not that I am for banksters as I am not. But I wonder how you would explain wars prior to banksters?
What about various tribes befor modern civilization that fought each other?
Society has a waring nature. Even in the lower animal species, they invade and defend territory.
But weapons have made giant leaps. The Crossbow to the machine gun to nuclear weaponry and now to the final weapon real mass destruction. The weapon that will allow an entity to conquer the world with out anyone even knowing they were in a "War". The final weapon? The printing press.

As much as man is a part of nature, and war is arguably natural...
I think we're doing it unnaturally.
Perhaps how societies lived, and the myths they hold about death, can give us a clue as to what aspects of war are natural, and which are contrived by men.
They're called Sociopaths. Today, they are dominated by Bankers and Politicians.
The best I have come across on doomsday anxiety and the sociopathic warlike tendencies of our race is Velikovsky's tome 'Mankind in Amnesia' which is an analysis of the near extinction events that occured only 80 generations ago. The jury is of course still out on whether we have what it takes to overcome those psychic scars that lurk in our collective unconscious. Many of the ZH brothers and sisters give me hope that it may be possible.
Doesn't seem very stealthy if it can be tracked easily enough to be on Zerohedge.
Nah man.
We're just that far ahead of the curve here.
1. Estonia is 100 miles from St. Petersburg.
2. In WWII the 900-day Siege of Leningrad had both Finns and Germans attacking at the same time. The Finns got within 12 miles of Leningrad.
So this air flight covers both borders...or 'fronts'.
The most amazing fact of WW11 to me, is that Finland survived as a western oriented free country and wasn't absorbed by the Soviet Union. I suppose there was some interesting diplomatic messaging going on to achieve that.
No, not really. The Finn just had to kill a million Russians.
Check out the 1939 Winter War between the Soviets and Finland.
Simo Hayha .... The most incredible bad - ass you've never heard of.
The Russians sure found someone better than themselves at fighting a winter war
Was Soviets....not Russia
Russians were not in control.
Good point ... that prick Stalin was a Georgian.
Not really.
The Finns got close then just chilled.
They did not assist the Germans with artillery nor air power; the only real assistance was passive as they tied up Russians opposite them.
The Finns stopped during the Continuation War as soon as they took back the territory they lost when Russia invaded in 1940.
@raftermanfmj/optimator
Glad to see some people here know a little history. You guys are correct in that Finland only took back what was stolen from her and never occupied USSR territory. They when so far as prohibiting the Germans from cutting off the supply line from Murmansk that carried food stuffs ammo to their enemy. Soviets returned the favor by gobbling up about 12% of Finland's land and hitting them up with billions in war reparations for a conflict they didn't start.
I wonder how long it took to get ETOPS rating on that thing?

MH 370 was a hijacked plane that was a failed 911 style attack on Perth, Australia. 370 is in the ocean and who knows if it will ever be found.
Riggghhttttt.......
MH370 was a CIA job. The plane was hijacked and diverted to Diego Garcia. My guess is that there was some kind of biological weapon on board. No trace of the plane or its passengers and crew will ever be found.
Could be a decoy.
The thing that's the most scary that almost no one is talking about is putins willingness to let his economy to take a big hit. He going after something big enough to make this worth it
Yes, freedom.
LOL, WUT???
He's looking to win a few rounds playing at Brzezinski's Grand Chessboard.
As always, "self-determination" is but a casus belli for those about to rock.
It's about freedom from dollar hegemony and susceptibility to meddling by Banksters. Brzezinski's 'Grand Chessboard' reverts to marbles without fiat petrodollars.
Is that so hard to comprehend?
So, let me get this straight: a 3% workforce reduction is now a mass layoff, a 2% drop in the DOW is a mass selloff, 13 dead bankers is a world-wide epidemic, a free cow rancher is a dangerous terrorist and a flying radio is a doomsday device.
... but a $86bn a month QE is a minor inconvenience.
Add a few rich folks applying for government welfare as eggregious moral failure.
And could you imagine just how big QE would be if Belgium weren't buying all those Treasuries?
OMG hundreds? Did you say hundreds? It is actually an insult to Russians to take this so lightly as to send HUNDREDS of troops and 4 French Fighters...
4 French Fighters ! OUU; quel horreur.
The French have fighters? How the fuck do you fly in reverse?
For sale: One French officers pistol. Only dropped once.
I may be wrong, but I think the last war France"won", was the French Revolution.
Don't forget, western media and inside the beltway ass hats are convinced Putin is quite scared of Oblahblah.
If Putin were drowning I would go play golf.

Until there is a very direct, bold and open move against the dollar, I expect the Chinese and the Russians to do nothing major against the US with regards to the Senkaku islands and Ukraine respectively, unless directly provoked by the US. What we do in the mean time is anybody's guess, but know that it will likely be childish and unwise.
"childish and unwise"
Then the US shouldn't miss a beat, that's standard operating procedure for US 'foreign policy'.
What we have is a community organizer with drones who think's he's going to punish his opponent (Putin) like they do in Chicago style politics. It's a fucking joke. I have no idea who is specifically telling him to take Russia on, but it's like taking Woody Allen and putting him into the boxing ring with Mike Tyson in his prime.
Fuck this shit.
What many do not understand here is that the shitheads at the top of the NWO pyramid are arranging this to destroy the USA as a player and a currency in order to usher in their one world government, and initially gold backed SDR, and then soon going completely digital one-world currency. The Bush crime family, the Clintons, and the fudgepacker-in-chief are quite literally traitors. They are not stupid, though evil to the core.
Maybe. I think the US is the enforcement arm of the NWO. You are probably right that they have to destory USD in order to usher in a single currency.
War Game Decoy IMHO. The first to shoot engaged the war.
Now a bloody plane ... near ... Finland?

War business
God Business
"The organizing principle of any society is for war. The basic authority of any modern state over its
people, resides in its war powers. Today its oil - tomorrow water. It's what we like to call the
G O D business: guns, oil, and drugs.
But there's a problem: a way of life - it's over ..... its unsustainable and in rapid decline. That's why we implement demand destruction. We continue to make money as the world burns. But for this
to work, the people will have to remain ignorant of the problem until it's too late. Thats why we have
triggers in place: 9/11, WMD's, Ukraine. A population in a permanent state of fear does not ask questions. Our desire for war becomes it's 'desire'.
A willing sacrifice - you see, fear is justification - fear is control - fear is money!"
From The Veteran ( U Tube)
And what did Finland do? Ok there are some assholes and idiots at the helm, but its really hard to imagine they have pissed off the 'Czar'.
Someone in Finland is watching and listening a little too loudly.
All Putin has to do now is start a general panic in the West and the house of cards comes down in a moment.
He must be thinking long and hard about his next move. The Russians are really good at this game.
I believe there's lots of info. on the Internet re Putin's tournament-level chess abilities.
At that level, they think about 15 - 20 moves ahead (if they expect to have any hope of winning).
So, what we see today is just the current element of a very deep, well considered strategy. Wonder what the next 15 - 20 steps will reveal??

Probably a pretty routine ELINT mission - they carry an extensive array of ELINT / SIGINT hardware. Not that the West doesn't try exactly the same thing with the Russians!
Certainly flying on "genuine Russian" kerosene - after all, unlike the West, they do have plenty to play with, don't they . . . . .
Could be ELINT, but why bother when you have the Baltic states surrounded thanks to Kaliningrad, where you could build powerful ground-based listening posts? It could also be training for flying by visual navigation. They found a nice, semi-circular bay over which to fly, with an island in the dead center: makes it easier for the pilots to fly the mission using visual landmarks instead of instruments if necessary. Plus, it's off the commercial flight routes, so no need to bother with avoiding any traffic.

Wishful thinking, Putin will remain victorious and with the help of China, they will destroy the fraudulent banking system of the West! This article is pure propoganda! I detest Putin but, I detest the US gangsters running our banks more!
Yeah because, you know, banking works differently in Russia and China.

If Pro Wrestling had nukes, it would be almost as interesting as this miniseries.
Everyone here pulling for Putin (and there seem to be a lot of Putin ass kissers) seem to not remember this one historic fact - the Soviet Union collapsed and lost the Cold War BECAUSE the Soviets collapsed economically in part because of the arms race.
If this current war devolves to an economic war my bet is Putin squeals Uncle first. Will the U.S. take a hit - yes, Europe - yes, but Russia breaks first.
Hey Vlad just don't mess with my Internet!
...and America is following suit as we whistle past the graveyard; a dying empire. if we would be less interventionist and worry about our homeland, we would not need Homeland Security. It is ironic. Putin is an oligarchical POS just like every other country. People are angered at the United States ramping things up. This whole thing has been fomented by our arrogance. I love America, but its government is sending us all headlong into Hell. That is my issue. I have children. I wonder about this world I have brought them into....I wish everyone luck as I do believe that this is the real deal now. Have a plan ready.
Agree. The next 25 years are going to be hell. Out of control inflation. Pensions slashed, wages frozen. Shortages and that's not taking into account a grid melt down to a solar flare or a " terrorist " attack. [read .gov sponsored terrorist attack].
The world has alread seen over 2,000 nuke bombs go off, what's another 200 at key cities ? End the American dream experimen over night. Pre 1800's living just like that.

As I have no wish to see the son's of mother Russia piled high in mass burial sites, I truly hope this situation calms down and Russia backs out of the Crimea.
How truly horrible it will be to have to turn thousands of Russian boys into fertilizer just because a insecure and moral reprobate like Princess Putin can make a grab for the brass ring from his little pony. It is mind boggling that we have to deal with such stupidity in the 21st century.

Strange. A perfect circle over the Valaam Monastery.
Valaam, A very nice place. Was there back in the late 90's. Part of a river cruise from Moscow down the Volga and then back up all the way to St. Petersburg visiting cities and important places like Valaam. Impressive river and canal systems, from Moscow one can sail to the Black Sea, Capsian Sea, the Baltic Sea or up to the White Sea.
Yeah, I'm jealous. Sounds incredible.
Interesting post / perspective. Not mine.
I believe Putin illustrates his ambition of reviving the Russian Empire and not the Soviet Union, as well as potential subvert influence, by the Russian Federation adoption of the old Imperial Double Headed Eagle. Not only is this symbol associated with the old Czarist dynasty uniting east and west, but with the highest levels of Freemasonry as well. It represents the occult concept of dualism or 'as above so below,' which again is a clear sign of subvert Cabalist influence in Russia and a hidden hand of influence behind Putin. Thus, I doubt Putin is really rebelling against the NWO.
Some researchers, such as Henry Makow, state that Putin himself is likely a Royal Arch Freemason, maybe even a crypto Jew. Makow also states Putin is on intimate terms with ”the largest faction of Russian Jewry, the Chabad Lubavitchers.” Without a doubt Putin was KGB, intelligence for the most anti Christian nation that ever existed the Soviet Union. Even if it wasn't the KGB but another nations intelligence agency, all the intelligence/espionage agencies of the world have clear ties to Cabalist international bankers. (Makow PhD is a researcher and is himself Jewish. Zionists would probably refer to Makow as a self hating Jew though. henrymakow.com)
I state the following as a former Marine and a graduate of the Virginia Military Institute with a degree in military history.
Putin's actions in Crimea, along the Ukrainian border, and potentially in eastern Ukraine is about one thing: negotiating from a position of strength by action, force, and the control of the initiative.
Any true student of military history or Geo political history must understand the power of controlling the initiative. The two great works of war "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu and "On War" by Carl von Clausewitz both instruct the importance of maintaining the initiative, and making the enemy react to you. This is also illustrated by the historical examples of the great captains of war Alexander the Great, Hannibal Barca, Julius Caesar, Frederick Barbarossa, Napoleon Bonaparte, Robert E Lee, George Patton, Chesty Puller, and many more. The initiative cannot be over emphasized in warfare, just as deception in warfare, whether military, political, or financial, cannot be over emphasized.
Putin's move in Crimea was and is to control the initiative, which was lost to subvert western forces centered and financed by George Soros' Open Society Foundation. By regaining the initiative Putin makes the west react to him. The logistics are in his favor, the western political appetite for war is in his favor, and the economic reality is in his favor. The west likely will not pursue a military option, and Putin will permanently secure Crimea in the Russian Federation. History will see this accomplished primarily through Putin's will to take the initiative and the west not willing to escalate Putin's move also due to Crimean 'popular sovereignty' or 'self-determination' as well as the previous mentioned appetite for war.
In reality, logistics and finance truly dictate the grand strategic level of warfare. As a Colonel once told me, "amateurs talk tactics, experts talk logistics." One thing I've come to realize over the course of my studies is logistics and finance go hand in hand.
Apply that advice given to me by the Colonel to Clausewitz's statement in "On War", "War is not merely a political act, but also a real political instrument, a continuation of political commerce, a carrying out of the same by other means." In addition to Marine Major General, and recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor twice, Smedley Butler's statements in "Wars a Racket," "War is just a racket. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of people. Only a small inside group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few at the expense of the masses....I wouldn't go to war again as I have done to protect some lousy investment of the bankers. There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights. War for any other reason is simply a racket."
As previously mentioned only time will tell Putin's true intentions, but remember you never can underestimate the will of the Sabbatean Cabalist international bankers in this 'millennial old global chess game,' since they truly dictate the game, and if they have an appetite for war all bets are truly off.
Long Live the Constitutional Republic!

If the Zionists did not exist, the Russians would have assimilated into the West years ago.
Food for thought.
Much here to agree with, but there has been a long-standing enmity between Russia and the influence the Rothschild banks had in Russia. Putin seems to have paid off their loans and kicked them out.
There have been numerous groups using the Blue Lodge as a subterfuge, in order to meet in secret.
I would say there are more important historical elements here than occult (hidden) societies, just imo.
If they were taking the plane out for a spin, I do think the fact that they went towards Finland and not the Baltic was a smart move.
If it had gone towards NATO, Kerry would have called it an "escalation."
Of course, to him, Putin still breathing is an "escalation."
Nothing like a good set of dress reheasals to put you in the proper frame of mind for your adversary and to set the mood!...
I'm sure "Air-Force One" will be having the same party shortly... Just in case.
If the American people genuinely cared about the future of their children they would have shown up in force last September when the Washington establishment wanted a war in Syria. Guess Russia has left such a bad taste in the Federal Reserve and London banks mouth they are prepared to go beyond all limits of shame even if it means they themselves will have nothing to look forward to in the process!
Behold the definition of pure unadulterated greed with no boundaries, and more importantly no equivalent in history when one considers the nature and lethal consequences in our modern warfare of the last half century.
We're obviously way past too late at this stage folks. Still time to decapitate the SOBs on Pennsylvania Avenue before "the keys officially get turned", and trust me... they will turn once NATO starts it conventionally across the borders with Poland and Romania!
This article shows a complete lack of understanding of military affairs. The purpose of "doomsday" aircraft is to function as a communications relay leadership and nuclear weapons. However, since most of Russia's ICBM's are far to the east and it's submarines port far to the north, there's little point to having a "doomsday" aircraft in this area. There are lots of military variants of the Tu-214. This is most likely a signals intelligence aircraft, trying to intercept communications related to NATO activities in the Baltic. The most comparable aircraft operated by the US would be the RC-135.
Why doesn't NATO get the fuk out of Eastern Europe, like yesterday? Are they trying to provoke WWIII so that Jaewcov Rothcild can get his rocks off on population control, etc? Get the fuk out of there all the way to WAco before we start getting some serious shooting. Oh, and last I heard that Aegis system didn't work ou so well, or did it? Seriously I think the "Empire" is spreading out itself a little too thin. Russia is not Bagdhdad and there may be a few surprises on the way, who knows?
That thing is nothing next to the Doomsday GolfCart. (Especially if you have a Double PlusGood handicap.)
