Turkish Air Force planes together with fighter jets will accompany Russian President Vladimir Putin on his way to Budapest, where he will meet with American leader Donald Trump. This is reported by AirLive, citing sources.
"The escort of the F-16 of the Turkish Air Force will accompany Vladimir Putin's flight No. 1 together with the Russian Su during the flight over the Black Sea to the summit in Budapest, sources close to the Turkish Foreign Ministry say. Only Russian combat aircraft will guard the Il-96 to the Black Sea, then the Turkish Air Force will be escorted to the very borders in order to exclude provocations using drones, missiles under a "false flag,"— the publication quoted by Pool No. 3.
It is noted that one of the most likely flight routes is the Caspian Sea — Iran — Turkey — Mediterranean — Montenegro — Serbia — Budapest.
