Inside Vlad Force One! Seriously-ill Russian schoolboy films his private tour of Putin's £390million Ilyushin jet that's fitted out with a gold-plated toilet, a king-sized bed fit for a Tsar and a presidential bar (11 Pics)

A seriously ill Russian teenager was given a private tour inside Vladimir Putin's £390 million Ilyushin jet - the Kremlin's equivalent of Air Force One. 

Arslan Kaipkulov, 15, was shown around the aircraft's luxurious interior, which includes a meeting room, ensuite bedroom, gym and full bar.

Arslan was given the honour because he suffers with a rare immunodeficiency disorder which causes tumours to grow inside his body, and is the only person in Russia diagnosed with the condition.

Arslan Kaipkulov, 15, was given a guided tour of the aircraft including Putin's private quarters, which include a luxurious double bed

The President's bathroom features a gold-plated toilet which Arslan was shown as part of his tour, though Putin was not on hand to personally shown the youngster around

The jet - a £390million Ilyushin Il-96-300 - even includes a bar for the President to relax in

Putin also gifted Arslan - who is an aviation fanatic - a video camera to record his special day and gave him a tour of Vnukovo International Airport.

A 15 year old boy has revealed the inside of Vladimir Putin's £390 million luxury Flying Kremlin - the Russian equivalent of Air Force One.

Footage taken by journalists shows Arslan recording as he walks around the presidential Ilyushin Il-96-300 aircraft — but he was not allowed to show certain 'confidential' parts of the plane's interior.

'This is the top secret plane of the country, it is an honour for me to be on it,' said Arslan.

He added that Putin had made his 'dream come true' after seeing a film the boy had made for a charity event.

Putin was not on board his hi-tech flying palace during the visit - but instead spoke to him by phone from the Kremlin.

Arslan was granted the honour because he suffers from a rare immunodeficiency which causes tumours to grow throughout his body 

Putin also gifted the teenager a video camera that he used to record part of his tour, though he was not allowed to film in Putin's private quarters

Arslan said he plans to put together a 20 minute video of his experience which will be uploaded to Russian social media

The teenager was allowed to sit in the captain's seat in the cockpit and saw the conference room from which Putin maintains order across Russia while in the skies.  

'I visited other places, but you cannot shoot there,' he said. 'It's confidential there.'

So there was no footage from the teenager showing Putin's personal quarters including his bedroom and bathroom - even though images purporting to show these parts of the aircraft have been released before by Russian state TV.

The plane one of the most luxurious in the world and boasts a gold-plated toilet, a king sized bed fit for a Tsar and a gym.

The interior décor has a neoclassical style and the huge conference table is gold trimmed and surrounded by cream leather seats.

Putin is believed to have clocked up more air miles in high office than all other Russian leaders put together.

As well as being kitted out with luxury fittings and fixtures, the Russian jet is also equipped with missile jamming technology and high-tech communication equipment

Putin, an ex-KGB agent, is known for keeping himself in good shape - as the private gym fitted aboard his jet will attest

Arslan, from the Bashkortostan region of Russia, along with his mother Venera Kaipkulova, 36, was also shown how pre-flight checks are undertaken in a VIP section of Moscow's Vnukovo airport.

Security operatives gave him a fake device carrying the smell of explosives and asked him to hide it in a cone. A trained dog successfully sniffed out the item.

He was told about the medical examinations pilots must undergo before flying the Russian president.

The trip was organised by Russia's Dream With Me project which aims to make dreams come true for children with life-threatening conditions.

His mother said: 'It is a real miracle. We are very grateful to the Dream With Me project…. Huge thanks to our president.

'When children get ill….it is not always easy to find time, money and strength for joy.

'But joy is as important as treatment, it boosts and encourages you to keep moving forward.'

The Russian leader helped to fulfil the dreams of several ill children, including Regina, who interviewed the president on the RT channel.

Another child, named Artyom, enjoyed a helicopter tour of St. Petersburg, while a third called Veronika visited Mosfilm, the Russian equivalent of Hollywood.
