Flurry Of Government Aircraft Activity Over Russia Draws Attention: We Break It Down.Over the course of two days this past week, as the conflict in Ukraine raged on, a significant number of aircraft assigned to Russias Rossiya Special Flight Detachment have made curious flights in and around the country. This unit, technically part of state-owned Rossiya Airlines, a division of the flag carrier Aeroflot, operates a variety of specialized planes, including airborne command posts, communications relay jets, and VVIP aircraft, among others. The sorties have come amid a flurry of other interesting flight activity emanating from Russia, as well.
The flights in question took place between Thursday and Friday, March 17 and 18. It should be noted immediately that the Rossiya Special Flight Detachments aircraft fly regularly and that the total number of sorties was not necessarily higher than one might expect to see, at least as part of average day-to-day or week-to-week activity. However, what was visible via online flight tracking software drew particular attention because of the unusually coordinated nature of a large number of flights all at once from the Moscow area followed by the largely unexplained dispersal of many of them to intriguing locations, particularly to the east.
On Friday, online flight tracking software showed at least six planes from the Rossiya Special Flight Detachment departing from the Moscow area in relatively rapid succession, including an Il-96-300PU presidential plane, a Russian equivalent to Americas VC-25A Air Force One jets, and a smaller Tu-214PU airborne command post jet. Another specialized aircraft assigned to this unit, the Il-96-400VPU, was also subsequently spotted leaving the Moscow area. The Il-96-400VPU is generally believed to be a "doomsday" plane able to provide command and control for Russian nuclear forces in a crisis, and that is roughly analogous to the U.S. Air Forces E-4B Nightwatch jets.

The sheer size of the snow-white airliner demands respect. Its length reaches almost 65 metres, and the wingspan exceeds 65 metres. The differences between the technical characteristics of the IL-96-300PU and the basic passenger model are minimal. Like the original, the maximum takeoff mass of the presidential aircraft is around 270 tonnes and max cruising speed tops out at 900 kilometres per hour..20220320 俄羅斯啟動「末日飛機」，俄羅斯22架特種飛機「集體」從莫斯科附近機場起飛，向俄羅斯東南方飛行，異常舉動引發聯想，並有「俄羅斯政府官員從莫斯科撤離」、「俄軍發動核戰爭演習」、「俄軍準備開啟核戰」等各種傳言。22架特種飛機包括Tu-204、SSJ100超級噴射機、An-148等運輸機，而實際最令人關注的則是IL-96-300PU、Tu-214PU-SBUS及Tu-214SR通信中繼機等與核戰爭密切相關的機型IL-96-300PU是俄版「空軍一號」，俄羅斯總統普丁的專機，該機經過特殊改裝，配備有全套最先進的通訊設備，所有通訊都被列為「最高安全級別」，能防止竊聽攔截，戰時可以在空中指揮作戰，有「移動的克里姆林宮」之稱。
Tu-214PU-SBUS是俄國空軍特種航空指揮機，可用於協調特種軍事行動，包括俄軍的戰略武器。Tu-214PU-SBUS 是相當於美軍的E-4B空中指揮機的「末日飛機」，專門為核戰爭爆發時，從機上指揮包括洲際導彈、核潛艇、戰略轟炸機等核力量實施反擊而研製。Tu-214SR通信中繼機則是補強、保障空中指揮的通暢。
.Russian President’s Jet Goes Online
Voronezh Aircraft had to explain Tuesday the leakage of snapshots of the interior of the Russian president’s jet which was produced at the plant. Russian special services have shown interests to the blog which posted the pictures.About 30 snapshots of the president’s Il-96-300-PU(M) appeared last Thursday in a Live Journal blog, http://hectop.livejournal.com. A Russian broadsheet published a few pictures on the following day without quoting the source. The Voronezh Aircraft plant, the jet’s producer, said that the pictures show the Il-96 that was used by former President Boris Yeltsin.
The interior decoration of the plane by Britain’s Diamonite Aircraft Furnishings was worth some $17 million. On the whole, the president’s planet cost the Russian budget from $45 to $60 million, according to various estimates. The interior space includes the president’s study and bedroom as well as premises for his aids, securities, other personnel, bathroom, lavatory, kitchen and conference room.
.The Russian presidential aircraft are aircraft of the Russian presidential fleet used by the President of Russia and other government officials, the presidential fleet is operated by Rossiya Airlines.
The main presidential aircraft is the four-engined, long-range, widebody Ilyushin Il-96-300PU, a highly modified Il-96, with the two last letters standing for "Command Point" in Russian. Five modified Il-96s have been used as presidential aircraft, the first one was used by the first President of Russia, Boris Yeltsin. In 2005, the second PUM aircraft was used by President Vladimir Putin. In 2010, the third president, Dmitry Medvedev, announced that he wanted to expand the presidential fleet with two more PUM1 aircraft, manufactured by the Voronezh Aircraft Plant. The aircraft were delivered in 2012 and 2014. Previously the president had used Ilyushin Il-62, Tupolev Tu-154, and Yakovlev Yak-40 aircraft. One more PUM1 (registration number RA-96022)[1] was delivered in July 2016.
