“If we talk about drones in the air, then this is everything related to remote sensing of the earth, and this is largely agriculture. This is the control of linear objects. I can say that the use of unmanned vehicles in agriculture, we already have experience, increases the yield by five to six times, that is, it makes it possible to increase the yield by five to six times,” he said.

Earlier today, in an interview with RIA Novosti, Deputy Prime Minister Victoria Abramchenko reportedthat the Russian Ministry of Transport is discussing the possibility of returning permission to fly drones used by agricultural producers at an altitude of up to 150 m.
