Here’s how Russian President Vladimir Putin’s private jet looks from the inside

Russian President Vladimir Putin owns four presidential planes. One of which is the IL-96-300PU jet worth 500 million. Many are curious about this aircraft.

The aircraft is a wide-bodied, long-haul airliner that is easily distinguishable from the passenger model by its extended fuselage.

While the exterior of the aircraft looks largely the same as the basic model, the cabin is lavishly decorated with tapestries and gold accents.

The furniture and interior décor are finished in the neoclassical style and the planes are equipped with a spacious office and a huge conference table with a gold trim that is surrounded by cream leather seats.

The aircraft was constructed by Voronezh's airline company and has a special coating that makes it less visible to radar.

The Russian government has also installed an advanced communication system on board that allows the aircraft to act as a management centre capable of carrying out the prompt commandment of troops in case of unexpected conflict.

Putin has four identical private jets and they are all readied for departure as soon as knowledge of an international flight is public, with three acting as decoys.

Photographs of the interiors were leaked onto the internet several years ago and caused outrage among Russian citizens.

A blogger calling himself Kungurov who first published the pictures after getting hold of them from a contact in Russia's Ministry of Defence fumed.

'Our self-proclaimed Tsar has decided to give himself a gift on his 15th anniversary of assuming the crown by whipping his slaves into paying for two luxurious IL-96 airliners for him.'
