Earlier, on January 28, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the need to "open the sky" for civilian drones in Russia as soon as possible. A ban on their launch was introduced in a number of Russian regions in May 2023. The decision was due to the need to ensure the safety of the airspace.

Also on that day, Putin said that 15 centers of unmanned aviation are already operating in Russia, but in the near future it is planned to open another 48. In addition, the head of state pointed out that by 2030, Russia should become one of the global technological leaders in the field of UAV technology.
