He stated that the volume of state orders for UAVs in Russia from 2024 to 2026 will be regarding 92 billion rubles, and by 2030 – 200 billion rubles. “This year, the volume of such an order will amount to 4.4 billion rubles, of which 2.6 billion are federal budget funds,” Andrey Belousov added. He claims that by the end of 2026 Russia will produce 18,000 UAVs.

Mr. Putin at the meeting called the unmanned aviation industry “the most important area of ​​the country’s activity.” According to him, the volume of the industry can reach 1 trillion rubles. He suggested starting teaching drone control from school.
