Military sources revealed an escalation in complexities in the Middle East after the arrival of the Russian command and control aircraft, known as "Doomsday", to Iran, coinciding with the positioning of the American naval force in the region, specifically the aircraft carriers "Lincoln" and "Ford".
The report stated that Washington deployed massive offensive forces, including submarines, missiles, and stealth aircraft, while Russia established defensive and strategic infrastructure in Iran aimed at countering American technological superiority and preventing any potential control over the region.
The report explained that the regional scene is moving towards a bipolarity with an escalation in the likelihood of a broad military confrontation, especially with a potential misjudgment by the competing entities.
According to the information, the Russian aircraft, model Il-80 or the newer version Il-76MD-90A, functions as a strategic command and communications center, designed to withstand electromagnetic pulses and nuclear explosions, ensuring the continuation of military command even in complete warfare conditions.
The report indicated that the aircraft is equipped with advanced communication systems capable of linking submarines, ballistic missiles, and ground units over long distances, with high protection against electronic jamming, acting as a "nerve center" to synchronize air defense, fighter aircraft, and missile batteries in real time.
The presence of the Russian aircraft allows the Iranian command to link air defense systems S-300 and S-400 with the Russian intelligence network, which reduces the surprise advantage relied upon by the American stealth fighters F-22 and F-35.
The aircraft also provides an intelligence umbrella that transfers military information to Tehran instantly, enabling Iran to monitor movements of the American aircraft carriers and missile launch operations, reducing the element of surprise.
The presence of the aircraft allows the Iranian command to continue military operations even if command centers in Tehran are targeted, where the command, and possibly Russian advisors, can monitor the war from a fortified and mobile location.
The report concluded by indicating that sending the Russian aircraft to Iran represents a direct deterrent message to Washington, implying that Russia will not remain idle, and any attack on its interests in Iran could lead to a direct confrontation with the United States, complicating the security scene in the region and enhancing the risks of any American military action.
