Often regarded as the “Flying Kremlin,” Russian President Vladimir Putin’s plane recently landed on the Palam technical air base. Soon after its landing, the vibrant Russian expression on its side became the subject of discussion. Putin had arrived on a special plane for his visit to India.
The inscription on the plane has attracted a lot of attention; users have been flooding the internet with the question – what exactly is the meaning of the inscription on Putin’s plane.
Since this plane is the designated flying vessel that Putin uses, it has been seen on several visits he has made. In the past, the same plane was also seen when President Putin had visited Alaska.
Experts explained the meaning of this inscription on the plane
Upon comparison, it is evident that Putin arrived in India on the same plane that took him to Alaska. The aircraft has been specifically denoted as the Ilyushin IL-96, which is the main aircraft in the Russian president’s fleet.
The plane bears the words “Россия” in bold letters; the word translates to “Russia.” The letters are derived from the Cyrillic alphabet. When his plane arrived in India, the plane bore the same letters. The Russian president was given a grand welcome at the airport with strict security measures in place. Putin is in India on a two-day visit.
