Vladimir Putin India Visit: Russian President Vladimir Putin is coming to India this evening for his two-day visit. This is his first visit to India after the start of the Ukraine war. Meanwhile, a question is being raised as to which way Putin’s aircraft will arrive. However, air routes are kept completely confidential for any leader of the world. But by analyzing geopolitical patterns, no-fly rules and VIP aviation protocols, it can be estimated which possible corridors their aircraft can use while flying from Moscow to India.
potential main route
The most likely, shortest and safest route between Moscow and New Delhi is to fly through the Central Asian region. The aircraft will start its journey from inside Russia’s large airspace and then move towards the south. It is expected to pass through Kazakhstan, Russia’s nearest country, and then through Uzbekistan or Tajikistan, depending on the airlines allowed for that day. From there the flights usually go to the upper altitude corridor of Afghanistan. After crossing this area, the aircraft will easily enter Indian airspace and land towards New Delhi. This route is generally considered the most practical because it avoids European restrictions, reduces flight hours, and relies on airspace that is open and cooperative to Russia.
another way
If Russia wants to avoid Afghan airspace due to security alert or weather, then there is another way. From Moscow the aircraft will go from Kazakhstan to Turkistan and proceed to Iran. This route from Iran goes towards Oman or international air space over the Arabian Sea. After this it reaches India towards Gujarat and Rajasthan. This corridor is often used by government aircraft. This is because Iran has stable diplomatic relations with both Russia and India.
long but safe path
For these high profile visits where geopolitical safety is given more priority than flight time, sometimes a third route is chosen. In such circumstances, Putin’s aircraft will pass from Kazakhstan via Azerbaijan and then cover a long distance over Iran before going towards Oman or UAE boundary zone. After this it will finally enter India through the Arabian Sea. This corridor allows flights to bypass all areas under NATO control and avoid stable conflict zones.
