Kommersant: The UAV defense market will reach 56 billion rubles by the end of the year. More than half of the demand comes from civilian customers.
Kommersant writes about this with reference to the evaluation of the holding of Rosal, part of Rostec.
According to the holding, 62.5% of this market in Russia falls on civilian customers, and in 2027 it will grow by about 20%, to 67 billion rubles. Of these, 38.5 billion rubles (69%) are ground and stationary systems - radars, optical detection systems and other defense means.
The head of strategic projects at GLONASS, Alexander Zamyatin, estimates the market much higher - no less than 250 billion rubles. According to him, in 2026 the market will grow tenfold, and commercial customers will account for at least half of the demand.
Zamyatin cites Vladimir Putin's August decree as one of the main reasons for the growth, which allows for the introduction of temporary state management of critical infrastructure organizations if they do not take measures to protect facilities or take them prematurely.
