Air Force One vs Putin Force One: which is more impressive?

Stakes were high as Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin met in Geneva. The meeting may have not resolved international tensions, but – at the very least – it provided a chance for both the United States and Russia to affirm their positions and convince their allies of their firm intentions.

Showing off is an important part of such meetings, and both countries certainly have a knack for demonstrating their perceived might through whatever means possible. The airplanes with which presidents arrived are among such means. Massive four-engined beasts of both presidents are some of the largest passenger aircraft in the world, and are a demonstration of the very best both countries’ aviation industry can offer.

Of course, it is impossible to say which aircraft is more impressive. The impression is a subjective thing. But it is possible to compare them: lay out the facts and allow everybody to formulate an opinion of their own. So, what are those facts?

This is about as accurate as a middle school research paper.

The biggest difference is that the Russian president can walk up the stairway without tripping.

I have a 50-year-old barometer at my front door, hasn’t worked well for a long time and yet it’s still more accurate than this!

1:35. That is a Boeing 707 tail #27000, the plane which carried Kennedy's body. She is on permanent display at the National Museum of the US Air Force in Dayton, OH where I have toured her, along with every other retired Presidential Aircraft.

Don't forget that First Lady Jackie Kennedy brought forth the paint design.

So, Putin publicly complained about the food quality on his Air Force One. I think, you're making stuff up, my friend.

[DRKHRSE]

Who the heck calls it Putin force one 💀

[majorpete]

American stereotypes always seeks to undermine other people and bloat theirs. I skip every video once they deviate from the topic to castigations.

[Iamzombiehunter]

The biggest difference between these two aircraft is that Putin doesn't stumble and trip when walking up the stairs.
🤪🤪🤪

I had to click on this just because how stupid the question is LOL

[dannywainwrightq]

Entire video Is filled with "speculation". Do more research.

In 2002 I flew from Vnukovo airport to Anapa on Rossiya airlines. While they are for VIPs the airline operates domestic passenger routes as well. My flight was on a Soviet era Tu-134 both ways. The service was excellent. The ride was smooth. As to the VC-25 we can be sure it has had maintenance issues too. I worked on 747-400 in airline operations with AAL - JAL. The IL-86 and IL-96 have had excellent service and safety records. Only one crashed as I recall, due to flight crew error. The IL-96T was given FAA FAR-25 certification under AC-21-23B but didn't attract buyers. It had the same Collins avionics and flight displays as the JAL 747-400 and PW2037 engines. They shifted gears at Ilyushin and rolled out the IL-96-400 with Perm engines and Russian avionics for their market.

Putin made his plane ✈ by hand 🖐 and flies it with his left leg. 😂 ❤ 😂

[xodus_sys]

sure IL. 747 is a common plane, you can see it in every airport, while IL 96 is very rare. Probably the only way you can spot it is Gavana airport, since Cubana airlines has one.

It's interesting that westerners are so fixated with comparison of USA versus Russia, with an apparent intention of humbling the latter.

[carsnotbars]

I’m glad this video was set up correctly, I was prepared to skip through certain parts. But the back and forth made me watch the whole thing! Good job

[germanfuentes]

I don't know wich one is more impressive. I just know Air Force One must be tired of transporting a dude who describes America as "bshdgshjdhshs".

[richardmorris]

That 747 can literally stay in the air indefinitely, they can refuel & keep on going almost indefinitely.

[sylvesteralelele]

Any aircraft that carries the President of the Russian Federation has the call sign 'Air Plane One'; not "Putin Force One'. Kindly let your videos educate without bias! But a well.shot video!
