Warzone/The Drive: Half Of Russia's Su-57 Fleet Escorted Putin To Military Test Facility Ahead Of Pompeo Meeting (Updated)

The Russian leader very publicly inspected some of the country's most advanced aircraft and air defense systems.

Russian President Vladimir Putin flew to the country's southwestern region today on board his IL-96-300PU presidential plane with an escort of six Su-57s, roughly half of the total number of the advanced fighter jets that the country has in total.
