As First Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Andrei Belousov said, 2.5 billion rubles have been allocated for these purposes. The program covers the entire range of unmanned systems, except for educational drones.
“All equipment supplied under the program must meet localization criteria and UAS certification requirements. The principles contain the procedure for consideration and other details,” his words are quoted in the Telegram channel of the Cabinet of Ministers.
At the end of December, the governor of the Samara region, Dmitry Azarov, announced the launch of the first stage of UAS production in Tolyatti.
