Putin Serious About Expanding UAS Fleet

During a defence budget meeting last Thursday after visiting a base in southern Russia, newly-re-elected President Vladimir Putin said  “We need a programme for unmanned aircraft.”


Experts say this is a most important area of development in aviation,” he added. “We need a range of all types, including automated strike aircraft, reconnaissance and other types.” Russia is allegedly spending $13 billion on unmanned aircraft through 2020.
