Chinese national arrested for photographing US doomsday plane

A 21-year-old Chinese national has been arrested and charged after taking unauthorized photographs of sensitive US military aircraft at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska, the headquarters of U.S. Strategic Command. The images included the E-4B Advanced Airborne Command Post, known as the 'Doomsday Plane,' and the RC-135 'Rivet Joint' signals intelligence aircraft. The individual had also previously visited Ellsworth Air Force Base, one of two bases that host the B-1B 'Lancer' strategic bomber. The arrest highlights ongoing concerns about foreign intelligence gathering at critical US military installations.
