The aircraft carrying Russian President Vladimir Putin to Budapest will be escorted by Turkish Air Force planes and Russian “Sukhois.” This was reported by the AIRLive news outlet, citing sources in the Turkish Foreign Ministry.

During the President of Russia’s flight over the Black Sea, “Sukhoi” fighter jets will accompany him. It is noted that the Il-96 will also fly together with the Russian fighters until reaching the open waters area.

After that, Turkish aircraft will join the operation to escort Air Force One all the way to the borders in order to prevent any potential provocations involving drones. One of the most likely flight routes is expected to be as follows: Caspian Sea – Iran – Turkey – Mediterranean Sea – Montenegro – Serbia – Budapest.

Earlier, Andrey Popov, a reserve FSB lieutenant colonel and member of the “Alpha” counterterrorism veterans association, stated that if any attempt is made to disrupt possible talks between the Russian and American presidents in Budapest, such actions will be stopped, and their perpetrators will be eliminated.
