Moreover, since Specials squad are not allowed to buy foreign-made equipment, ship purchased for one of the airlines probably Petersburg STC "Russia", and then transferred to a special squad for rent.
Three-engine scheme used commercially yet only TU-154 m. Weight 31 tons and a wingspan of 23, 5 meters, similar to the dimensions of modern fighters.



Range of 11 thousand. Km at a speed of up to 900 km / h and operating ceiling of 15,000 m. They opened a much larger airports than for the "light" of the presidential Tu-154.
