Russian state jet arrives in Anchorage, a large number of American police cars rush to the airport, Putin is not on the plane
According to a video released by Russia's RT, a Russian state jet, the Il-96, arrived at Ted Stevens International Airport in Anchorage, Alaska, USA.
This aircraft belongs to the Russian presidential fleet, known as the "Flying Kremlin," and it flew directly from Moscow via the Arctic route.
Subsequently, the U.S. police quickly deployed at the airport, with a large number of police cars and security forces rushing to the scene to ensure the safety of the tarmac and surrounding areas.
However, according to current information, the people on board are mainly the Russian advance team and media personnel, and there is no sign of Putin. This landing is likely to be a preparation for the upcoming U.S.-Russia meeting, rather than Putin's official arrival.
The U.S. reaction fully demonstrates the sensitivity of this event.
The U.S. law enforcement agencies immediately sent a convoy of police cars upon the arrival of the jet, showing their high emphasis on security and reflecting their heightened vigilance towards Putin's movements.
It is worth noting that previously, U.S. media reported that Russia might use Anchorage as a transit point and then proceed to an Alaskan military base. It is said that Putin would fly directly to a military airport instead of landing at a civilian airport.
Therefore, he is likely to appear under higher-level security protection through another route or another base.
From the Russian perspective, such arrangements can avoid exposing his movements too early, while also reinforcing the presence of Putin as a strategic figure.
As a former KGB officer, this is not a new tactic; it is a classic ruse, reflecting the caution of the Russian side and the danger of this trip.
It is not that the U.S. intends to harm Putin, but rather that the U.S. is under great pressure. If something goes wrong, the consequences would be very serious. Instead, the current mood inside the U.S. is still intense, and considering that the U.S. president can be assassinated, let alone the Russian president.
