Judging by the information released by the Russian side, Putin's plane only passed through the UAE and the United Arab Emirates, except for Iranian airspaceSaudi Arabiaairspace, while Iran allows not only the Russian Aerospace ForcesFightersCrossing their airspace, an F14 was also sentFightersCarry out escorts.

Although unlikelyU.S. militaryWill take shot downPutin's planebut they can challenge Russia's prestige by jamming flights. This is difficult for Russia to accept, because Russia attaches great importance to face and believes that preserving the face of the country can serve its interests.

By looking at it, we can spot Russia, the UAE andSaudi Arabiaare all importantOilA major exporter. Combine two news, namely the United StatesOilThe export value is more than 200 billion US dollars andSaudi Arabiaand other countries announced production cutsOil, we can deduce that the topic of Putin's visit is aboutOilProduction and pricing.
However, it is interesting that neither Russia nor the United States, they areOilHuge profits have been made on exports. InOilThey seem to be on the same page when it comes to pricing. So, are Russia and the United States going to join forces to raise oil prices?
In reality, this is not the case. Exports from RussiaEconomyPrimarily dependentEnergyindustry,Oiland gas are at the heart of Russia's exports. However, the export of the United StatesEconomyNot limited to:Energy, the semiconductor industry, aerospace and other high-value industrial products are also an important part of U.S. exports. So, for Russia and the United States, faceOilThe tolerance for a decline in export profits is different, with Russia being relatively weak and the United States being relatively strong.
Putin's visitSaudi ArabiaAnd the purpose of the UAE, in addition to further understanding the situation with OPEC, is also to convey the opinion of Russia. In general, Putin's visit was a meeting aboutEnergyofGambling, involving Russia, OPEC and possibly the United States. However, it remains to be seen how events unfold.
Putin's formality was once again evident during the visit, when he made quick decisions and took action. The Su-35 fighter escorted and showed Russia's tough style, which is also what Russia can confront Western countries in a disadvantageCriticalOne.
However, Putin is already an old man in his 70s, and people can't help but worry about how long he can hold up Russia. Recently, Putin announced that he will participate in the next Russia** and is expected to be re-elected and remain in control of the country. This is Putin's personal ability and abilityPoliticsThe triumph of strength, but his age is still an unstoppable objective question.
Ten years from now, Putin will be over 80 years old, and even if he can continue to lead Russia, the loss of energy and mental slowness that comes with age will still be difficult to solve. Therefore, in the next decade, will Putin be able to produce qualified ** people, or will Russia be able to build an effective onePoliticssystem to maintain the stability and development of the country will be an important issue.
In addition, in the face of Western sanctions and pressure, RussiaEconomyWe are still facing a lot of difficulties. Although Putin is inInternationalExcellent performance on stage, but RussianEconomyThe situation has not changed much. Russia is still dependentEnergyexports, especiallyOiland gas, which allows Russia inInternationalThe market is susceptible to volatility. In addition, domesticEconomyProblems are also piling up, including unemployment, poverty, corruption, etc. These problems require long-term solutions and sustained efforts.
So while Putin is in RussiaPoliticsThe status and influence on the stage cannot be ignored, but Russia's challenges and dilemmas cannot be solved by one person. Russia needs more effort to improveEconomycompetitiveness, improve the livelihood of the domestic people, cultivate a new generation of leaders, establish a sound onePoliticsSystem. Only in this way will Russia be able to achieve sustainable development and stability.
