Details: Reportedly, the nuclear suitcase is traditionally being carried by the officer of the Russian Naval Fleet known under the alias of Cheget (named after mountain of Cheget in the Caucasus Mountains). The suitcase is supposedly always with Putin but rarely caught on camera.
The US President also has a similar suitcase – the so-called nuclear football. It contains the codes, which the President uses to confirm the authenticity of the order to launch nuclear missiles upon his absence in the White House.
