World leaders are usually the targets of assassins and suicide bombers. Because of their position, they make critical decisions that affect interested parties directly. Their enemies never fail to get back at them if there’s a loophole, and this explains why these leaders must be protected at all costs. Join me as we take a trip to ten of the most protected Presidents in the world.
10. Vladimir Putin – Russia
Russia has more secret agents than many countries in the world. One of those seemingly faceless security force towers is the Federal Protection Service. No one will and can uncover how powerful this agency is, but it is assumed that they wield so much influence in the country, given their level of secrecy. There’s no public data available on their operations, but the only thing we know is that Dmitry Kochnev heads the organization.
Like the China Central Security Bureau, the FSO is responsible for the country’s political elite. However, its primary aim is to keep Russia’s number one man safe. The team can go to any length to keep Vladimir safe, and they are never short of resources to do that. They are given billions to do the job and lack nothing practically. There are countless rumors about this secret security outfit. The most resounding one is that they have a spare Putin who acts like the real one. This fake guy is employed to do all the dangerous stunts Putin is known for. If you think they want to risk the President’s life, think again.

9. Kim Jong-Un
When the name Kim Jong-Un is mentioned, what comes to mind? For me, I see a fearless dictator who isn’t scared to challenge world powers. He wouldn’t achieve all the guts he had if there weren’t a strong backup. When the North Korean President visited Singapore in 2018, he was accompanied by a spy guard that seemed like the U.S. secret service. The Asian country is notorious for overkilling, and Kim’s bodyguards aren’t an exception. While the U.S. secret service has about 7000 employees, its North Korean counterpart has over 100,000 employees. This unit comprises highly trained military personnel that reports directly to him.
Only the best of the best in the military become members of the personal protection unit. The worst is that you are unlikely to meet any of them unless something goes amiss. The bodyguards you see clad in a black suit and running around the President are only an offshoot of the Guard Command. We know that Kim has lots of ninjas at his beck and call, but we don’t know how far they can go to please their principal.

8. The pope
By his very job description, the pope is on the side of the angels. This doesn’t suggest that everyone loves and means well for him. The pope is guarded by the Pontifical swiss guard, a lethal guardian force comprising the best soldiers in Switzerland. The team is capable of disarming an assassin with the polearms they carry. These guards have one of the most advanced collections of firearms on the planet. Did you know that the guards are the world’s oldest standing military and also the smallest? Yes, they number a little above 125.
The recruitment process allows any Swiss ex-military man under 30 to apply, but the screening process combines educational requirements and special forces training. The pope himself swears in the few who pass the rigorous recruitment process. The men protect the pope, the Vatican, and accompany him on all travels. Asides from this army, there’s also the legendary Popemobile, a platform where the pope is encased in bulletproof glass as he stands and waves to the public.
7. Mohamed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia
It is rumored that Mohamed Bin Salman of Saudi Arabia is not on good terms with his father, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud. This isn’t even strange news as a father-son relationship can dwindle for many reasons. Due to the rift, it is easy to assume that the Crown Prince may have let his guards down, but the opposite is the case. Journalists observed that the Prince responded to this diminishing relationship with his father by establishing a massive security network around himself. He has devoted quality time to developing the country’s security agencies and military and promoting loyal officers.
