Russia is actively negotiating with China to launch cross-border routes for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), with a pilot project planned for Blagoveshchensk, Dmitry Yadrov, the head of the Federal Air Transport Agency (Rosaviatsiya) has told the Sputnik news agency.
“In early September, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Russia was open to cooperation with all partners within the EAEU and other alliances to establish new cross-border routes for unmanned transport vehicles,” said the agency.
“We are indeed cooperating with China in this area; a pilot project was proposed for Blagoveshchensk, and the matter is currently under discussion,” Yadrov said on the sidelines of the World Youth Festival earlier this month, when asked which countries were involved in negotiations regarding the launch of cross-border UAV routes.
He noted that the negotiations were in an active phase and discussions were already underway.
