Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to arrive in New Delhi on December 4, accompanied by his prized Aurus Senat limousine, a luxury vehicle that serves as a mobile fortress for the Russian leader. The Aurus Senat, developed by Moscow's Aurus Motors, is a state-of-the-art car that has been designed to provide unparalleled security for world leaders. The Aurus Senat boasts impressive specifications, including a 4.4-litre V8 engine that produces 598 bhp, along with an 850-bhp V12 option for high-stakes diplomatic missions. The car's interior features premium materials, including leather-lined upholstery, ambient lighting, and wooden trim, as well as advanced safety features like built-in fire suppression and air filtration systems. Putin's visit to India comes amidst ongoing trade tensions between India and the US, with President Donald Trump imposing 50% tariffs on Indian imports. Despite this, a discussion on the possibility of Russia supplying Su-57 fighter jets to India is likely during Putin's visit, according to Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov. The oil trade may also be a key topic of discussion during the visit. During his two-day stay in India, Putin is expected to meet with President Droupadi Murmu and engage in talks on trade and economic cooperation. The visit is also set to include a private dinner hosted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Aurus Senat, which has previously been seen carrying Putin and Modi during a bilateral meeting in China, is a symbol of the strong ties between Russia and India, and is expected to make a grand appearance in the Indian capital.
