 Russian President Vladimir Putin has sat at the wheel again, this time on a flight simulator at the Krasnodar Higher Military Aviation School, journalist Pavel Zarubin reported, publishing related photos on his Telegram channel.

The photographs show the Russian leader sitting at the wheel of a flight simulator and trying out his piloting skills in a Yakovlev Yak-130 subsonic two-seat advanced jet trainer.

In late February, Putin performed a half-hour flight in a modernized Tu-160 strategic missile carrier during a visit to Kazan, Tatarstan. The president was at the helm during the flight. The main pilot was seated next to him.
