In 2025, only two countries will retain the ability to independently produce aircraft for heads of state. These are Russia and the United States. The Russian Il-96 aircraft is created by the United Aircraft Corporation, while the American Boeing 747 is produced by Boeing.
If the European Union is considered as a single state, it can also be included in the list of manufacturers, but with certain reservations. In Germany and France, high-ranking officials prefer Airbus aircraft, produced by the transnational concern Airbus from components manufactured in different countries. At the same time, the presidents of China and India use Boeing 747.
The Special Flight Detachment "Russia" (SLO "Russia"), formerly known as Separate Aviation Detachment No. 235 in the USSR years, is responsible for transporting the first persons of our state. This airline has an extensive fleet of aircraft at its disposal. Among them are 11 giant Il-96s, as well as Tu-214s and other models. In addition to this, the detachment has almost two dozen Mi-8MTV-1 helicopters. According to various sources, the SLO "Russia" consists of 50 to 70 aircraft.
The most impressive and powerful aircraft of the government air squadron is the Il-96-300, which is produced at the Voronezh Aviation Plant. On average, one such machine is produced there per year.
