American F-22 fighters "drew" a star in the sky over Elmendorf Air Force Base in Alaska after the arrival of Russian aircraft - a wide-body Il-96-300PU and a Kazan Tu-214 on Friday, August 15.
The Il-96 is a long-range aircraft. The Il-96-300 modification is used by the "Russia" special flight detachment for the most important government transportation.
The presidential Il-96 is easily recognizable by its characteristic fairings on the "hump" of the fuselage with satellite communication antennas and a special government livery with the coat of arms of the Russian Federation. And additional fuel tanks have been added to increase the flight range.
Also, the Administrative Directorate of the President of Russia (UPD) ordered six unique Tu-214 aircraft with the markings PU (command post), SR (relay aircraft) and SUS (communication center), two of each model.
