Russia is shaking up the skies! Starting January 1, 2027, all drones must feature mandatory ERA-GLONASS tracking hardware. Each unit costs 15,000 rubles and packs a quad-core ARM processor with 512MB RAM. This modular tech ensures real-time telemetry and 8GB of flight data logging. While authorities aim for unified domestic surveillance, manufacturers face a tight deadline to integrate these critical tracking systems.
