Vladimir Putin primarily flies in the Russian presidential aircraft Ilyushin Il-96-300PU. This is a highly modified, four-engined, long-range widebody airliner designed specifically for the Russian president and government officials. It is often termed the "Flying Kremlin" due to its advanced communication systems, allowing it to function as a mobile command center. It features luxurious interiors with offices, bedrooms, and a gym, along with military-grade security measures such as radar jamming and anti-aircraft defense systems. The aircraft can fly up to 13,000 kilometers without refueling, making it suitable for long international trips. Putin's fleet includes multiple Il-96-300PU planes to enhance security and operational flexibility.
