«We have repeatedly met and discussed the development of this area in the region. I know that the developed models of drones have already been successfully tested in combat conditions and have proven themselves to be the best. The first prototypes were assembled by hand. Now you are switching to mass production. Unmanned aerial vehicles are in demand on the market. We are ready to continue to support you, this is important for the economy of the entire region,» the press service reports Kondratyev's words.
He noted that such drones are necessary for military personnel, but they can also be used in agriculture or for fixing traffic violations. According to him, the range of applications of devices is huge.
«We have developed several products and those that have shown their effectiveness according to the test results, we are starting to mass-produce. We are ready to provide the needs of the country's law enforcement agencies in the required quantity with equipment», Fomin commented.
