Russia is shaking up the drone industry! New directives mandate ERA-GLONASS tracking tech for all drones starting January 1, 2027. Manufacturers face a 15,000-ruble surcharge per unit to integrate quad-core processors, 512MB RAM, and 8GB of storage. This move aims to tighten domestic airspace control, reduce foreign satellite dependency, and ensure real-time telemetry, potentially reshaping the future of commercial aviation operations.
