Not sure if this is true, but I heard from a reputable source that many Russian government workers are fully inebriated during the month of December. If this is the case, which I believe, it definitely could account for lapses in security on this base. However, and I do know this first hand, that plane is a big pile of crap! A general might fly on that plane during a wartime event, but Putin wouldnt be caught dead on that plane.
