Details: The nuclear briefcase is reportedly being carried, as is traditional, by an officer of the Russian Naval Fleet. It is known as the “Cheget” (named after Mount Cheget in the Caucasus Mountains). The briefcase is supposedly with Putin at all times, but is rarely caught on camera.

The US president also has a similar briefcase, known as the “nuclear football”. It contains the codes which the president would use to confirm the authenticity of an order to launch nuclear missiles if absent from the White House.
