Doomsday plane as it is called
Russian President Vladimir Putin will deliver a "doomsday" warning to the West when he leads celebrations on Monday for the 77th anniversary of the Soviet Union's victory over Nazi Germany, displaying formidable Russian firepower as his forces fight a war in Ukraine.

Putin, defying extreme isolation imposed by the West, will speak on Red Square, before a parade of soldiers, tanks, missiles and intercontinental ballistic missiles.
The Russian Defense Ministry said that a parade flight over St. Basil's Cathedral will involve supersonic fighters and "Tu-160" strategic bombers, and for the first time since 2010, it will include the "L-80" command plane known as "Doomsday", which will carry senior officers. In the event of a nuclear war.
The plane was designed to become the flying command center of the Russian president in the event that such a scenario occurs, and it is rich in technology, but the details of that specifically are a Russian state secret.

Putin, 69, has often compared the war in Ukraine to the challenge the Soviet Union faced when Adolf Hitler's Nazi Germany invaded his country in 1941.
On February 24, when he announced the military offensive in Ukraine, Putin said: "The attempt to appease the aggressor on the eve of the Great Patriotic War turned out to be a mistake that our people paid dearly for. We will not make such a mistake again. There is no justification for it."
The Soviet Union lost 27 million people in World War II, more than any other country. In recent years, Putin has denounced what Moscow sees as attempts in the West to alter the history of the war to devalue the Soviet victory.

Alongside the defeat of Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte of France in 1812, the defeat of Nazi Germany stands as the most revered military victory, although both disastrous invasions from the West made Russia very sensitive to its borders.
