Russia** Putin recently made a lightning trip, flying to the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia for visits. This visit not only demonstrated Russia's important position in international affairs, but also demonstrated Russia's close cooperation with countries in the Middle East. During this visit, Putin enjoyed a very high-standard courtesy, and four Su-35 fighters of the Russian Aerospace Forces escorted the whole process, carrying live ammunition to warn the United States not to act rashly.
It is understood that Putin flew to the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia on 6 June for a visit. Both countries are powerful countries in the Middle East and have close military cooperation with the United States. However, during this visit, the UAE and Saudi Arabia not only opened their airspace to Putin, but also gave him an extremely high-level reception. This move shows that the cooperation between the countries of the Middle East and Russia is getting closer and closer, and the influence of the United States in the region is gradually weakening.
It is worth mentioning that during this visit, 4 Su-35 fighters of the Russian Aerospace Forces escorted the whole process. The fighters were loaded with live ammunition and were ready to respond to possible threats. This move not only demonstrates the strength of the Russian Aerospace Forces, but also shows that Russia attaches great importance to this visit and its tough attitude towards the United States and NATO.
The Su-35 fighter is a twin-engine heavy fighter with supersonic flight capabilities, advanced avionics systems, and powerful ** systems. Its performance is second only to Russia's fifth-generation fighter Su-57, and it has the ability to compete with advanced fighters such as the American F-22. During the escort operation, four Su-35 fighters carried 16 missiles, two of which were medium-range air-to-air missiles with an effective range of about 100 km;The other two are close-range combat missiles with an effective range of about 30 km. The carrying of these missiles undoubtedly increased Russia's deterrence during this visit.
The United States also responded to this move by Russia. According to reports, the United States** said that they have taken note of the actions of the Russian Aerospace Forces and are concerned about it. However, some analysts have pointed out that if the United States really wants to take action, only four Su-35 fighters will not be enough to counter the United States. However, Russia has a powerful nuclear arsenal, and if a full-scale war really breaks out between the two sides, it will bring great disaster to the world. Therefore, for countries such as Europe and the United States, it is very necessary to exercise restraint and calm.
In addition, Iran's painted Su-35 fighter jets recently conducted actual combat exercises in Iraq. This move has attracted widespread attention and speculation from the outside world. Some analysts believe that Iran's move is to demonstrate its military strength and determination to the United States. At the same time, it also demonstrates the close cooperation between Iran and Russia. In the future, Iran may become one of Russia's important partners in the Middle East.
Overall, Putin's lightning trip to the Middle East was an important diplomatic move. Through close cooperation and exchanges with countries in the Middle East, Putin has not only demonstrated Russia's position and influence in international affairs, but also further consolidated Russia's strategic position in the Middle East. At the same time, with the full escort of 4 Su-35 fighter jets and the warning of the United States with live ammunition, Russia once again demonstrated its strong military strength and determination to the world. In the future, we have reason to believe that Russia will continue to strengthen cooperation and exchanges with the Middle East and make positive contributions to maintaining regional peace and stability.
