This was stated by the representative of the Defense Ministry Igor Ischuk.
The colonel spoke at the round table "Prospects for the development of unmanned vehicle technologies in the Russian Federation" taking place in Moscow. According to him, the Russian Ministry of Defense has developed requirements for drones, but today most Russian manufacturers are unable to meet the requirements, as they do not have the appropriate element base. Therefore, the military is forced to go for simplification, to accept drones for trial operation.

To date, the most in demand among the troops are electronic reconnaissance drones, as well as loitering ammunition and reconnaissance drones. UAVs supplied to the military must be noise-proof and not expensive so that they can be mass-produced. In addition, easy to handle.
