according to Wikipedia: >In March 2022, due to sanctions against Russia by the EU due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, S7 Airlines has confirmed that they will bring back three Il-86s as passenger aircraft, converted from cargo aircraft. This will be the first time that the Il-86 has flown commercially since 2011.
>These are variously claimed to be designated Il-80, Il-82, Il-87 or Il-86VKP (Russian: “BКП” for “вoздyшный кoмaндный пocт”; transliterated: "vozdushniy komandnyi post" “veh-kah-peh” and meaning "aerial command post"). >veh kah peh
That's how Russians pronounce acronyms. I actually like it.
The PPSh is the "Papash," DShk is the "Dushka", etc.
"Papash" rolls off easier than "Pee-pee-es-asche"
No panic
>for what purpose?
Desperation
if it was a happening why would they transmit?
they're russians
Old soviet tech, can't turn off transponders
>What would they transmit?
Broke Back Mountain
if this was a real happening they'd be transmitting Swan Lake
>now, witness the power of this fully operational battle st-ACK
Trust the plane.

It's also why the VDV song goes "VEH-DEH-VEH"
IL-86, as in the soviet era commercial plane? or an IL-76 military freighter converted to an airborne command post?
Think it's the latter and OP is just moronic
Rus Force One is on the way to New York
wasn't it grounded for ages because all the electronics got stolen ? or was that the doomsday plane ?
