Currently a live stream so the video is not loading into chat.

Flightradar is showing nuclear capable bombers in the skies around the East Coast.

Stay tuned.

What is a skymaster?




The Emergency Action Message (EAM) system serves several critical purposes within the United States' nuclear command and control infrastructure:

Emergency Communication: EAM provides a secure and reliable means of communication between the National Command Authority (NCA), which includes the President and the Secretary of Defense, and the nation's nuclear forces, including submarines, bombers, and missile units.

Nuclear Command and Control: EAM allows the NCA to issue authoritative orders to nuclear forces, including instructions for various scenarios such as nuclear deterrence, retaliation, or other strategic responses to threats or emergencies.

Crisis Response: During times of crisis, conflict, or heightened tensions, the EAM system enables the NCA to maintain control over nuclear assets and ensure coordinated actions among different components of the nuclear forces.

Security and Authentication: EAM messages are encrypted and authenticated to prevent unauthorized access or tampering. This ensures that only authorized personnel within the chain of command can send or receive EAM messages, maintaining the integrity and security of the nuclear command and control system.

Overall, the EAM system plays a crucial role in ensuring the readiness, security, and effectiveness of the United States' nuclear deterrent capabilities.


When, where and what situation would SKYMASTER be incorporated?




Emergency Action Messages (EAM) are used in specific situations and for particular reasons within the context of nuclear command and control.

Here are some key scenarios and reasons for using EAMs:

Nuclear Alert: EAMs may be issued to put nuclear forces on alert in response to perceived threats or heightened tensions. This could include situations where there's intelligence indicating a potential nuclear attack or when there's a need to demonstrate readiness and resolve.

Preplanned Operations: EAMs are used to execute preplanned nuclear operations, such as strategic deterrence, retaliatory strikes, or other military actions outlined in contingency plans. These messages ensure that nuclear forces are prepared to execute their missions when required.

Crisis Management: During a crisis or emergency situation, EAMs serve as a means of communication between the National Command Authority (NCA) and nuclear forces, allowing for the coordination of response efforts and the implementation of strategic directives.

Command and Control Exercises: EAMs may also be used in command and control exercises to test and validate the effectiveness of communication procedures, response protocols, and decision-making processes within the nuclear command structure.

Authentication and Security: EAMs are utilized to authenticate commands from the NCA and to ensure the security of communication channels, preventing unauthorized access or tampering with sensitive information related to nuclear operations.

Overall, EAMs are used to maintain control over nuclear forces, ensure readiness, and facilitate effective communication between decision-makers and operational units in various scenarios, ranging from routine operations to crisis situations.


Remember the presidential messages we all got to our cell phones a few years back? That's part of this structure. The EAN (Emergency Action Notification) is used in the event of a crisis, such as a potential nuclear attack from a foreign state.



A National Emergency Message (SAME code: EAN), formerly known until 2022 as an Emergency Action Notification, is the national activation of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) used to alert the residents of the United States of a national or global emergency such as a nuclear war or any other mass casualty situation. This alert can only be activated by the president of the United States or a designated representative thereof, such as the vice president.[1] The Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) also carried the Emergency Action Notification. Except for the 2011 national test, which utilized the Emergency Action Notification alert type, no president has ever issued a National Emergency Message.

Dude didn't find anything unusual. Most of what he's showing are E-6Bs. There's a big exercise going on right now at least some are part of. The KC-135s are refueling a Bomber Task Force that was a scheduled deployment to Rota Spain. Another one just went to Incirlik. No bombers are showing up on ADS-B Exchange near the east coast.

There doesn't seem to be anything happening at Kirtland or MacDill and the mods in that chat are banning anyone who says it's a drill or anything less than WW3. Seems like sensationalist nothing.

Okay, thank you for clarification. I will keep looking into this.

There are actually two big exercises going on. There's a Black Flag going on off the West Coast, and Vigilant Shield with the RCAF going on until the 19th.

Two B-2s were involved in the SKYMASTER exercise. They refueled over Nova Scotia with EIDER11/12, and there's another airspace reservation not far over the Atlantic. It's part of VIGILANT SHIELD. They'll head out over the Atlantic, refuel again, and head back west as part of the exercise.

Make no bones about it the big boys are playing brinkmanship for big stakes. Not if but when Israel hits the nuclear capabilities of Iran , then it all depends on what Putin does. The israeli attack has been postponed a couple of times , and now there seems to be that silence before the storm. Bolton knows what is going to happen he just doesn't know the consequences. So of course all the silos will have the arm codes, they just haven't got the launch codes yet. They will also be drilling non stop making sure they are ready.rumble.com...

If there was anything actually happening now, I suspect the airspaces over Israel, Iran, and the rest of that region would have closed their airspaces, which doesn't appear to be the situation, according to FlightAware. Everything appears normal there.

I asked a question in his live broadcast and got banned lol..

I said: Do you guys really believe they would transmit launch codes on a non secure channel ?

I reported his channel in kind for misinformation and forgot about it.

These exercises are planned months, or even years in advance in some cases. They don't just suddenly launch them because of events going on in the world. As for the missile silos it's not a matter of sending arming codes, and them then sitting around waiting to launch. The codes are sent as part of the launch sequence. They don't arm, and sit there armed waiting to launch.

If anything is going on, Facecrack and other social media would be having low ranking enlisted posting crap how they are being mobilized out of the blue. They don’t respect opsec.

On the demotivator "wild Russian ensign" in the cult Russian trash film about the Russian army in the 90s.

Do you have a source for those exercises? There was some arguing on the Livestream about a mix up on the dates for Vigilant Shield

That's the thing that always makes me laugh at this stuff... On what planet would a plane which actually has live nuclear ordiance on board also leaves its ADS-B transponder on. Even more so if it was actually about to do something with said ordinance... Its farcical that they military would publically advertise where any of that would be.

VIGILANT SHIELD 2024

The Black Flag and SKYMASTER exercises aren’t broadcast ahead of time so they’re word of mouth. Fun thing about SKYMASTER though is that it’s the post strike communications protocol. So it’s going to be used for second strike launches, and to figure out who is left after we’re hit by the first nuclear weapons. It’s not going to be used to launch a strike against anyone.
