Russian heavy UAVs "Altius" and "Hunter" equate to aircraft
The Ministry of Defense has developed relevant amendments to the Federal Aviation Rules for state registration of state aircraft. According to them, drones weighing over 10 tons will be registered in the state registration registry. Registered UAVs will receive unique numbers and onboard identification marks, and their operators will be equated with crew commanders.
First of all, it’s about heavy drones: Altius of extra long range and heavy Hunter UAV. After receiving registration marks that are applied to the wings and the fuselage, the Ministry of Defense will be able to move them along common air corridors, including international ones, if appropriate.
As explained in the military department, such registration will allow the drone to fly under its own power, for example, to Syria, through the airspace of other countries. Without registration, no state will launch an aircraft on its territory.
