The Ministry of Transportation will select up to five areas for a pilot project on the delivery of drones. Up to five regions in Russia are planned to be selected for a pilot project to organize the delivery of goods using UAVs, reports the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation. "In the future, food, medicine, packages and documents can all be delivered through the air using UAVs. It is planned to select up to five regions in Russia for the development of such transport. The main goal of the project is to move from individual test flights to normal cargo delivery", - the message says. They clarified that for this purpose it is planned to create 20, 50 and 100 km routes that will connect warehouses, distribution centers and order collection points. The project will allow us to assess the speed and cost-effectiveness of unmanned delivery compared to traditional methods, as well as determine the conditions for ensuring regular flights and areas where the technology is most in demand. "There is already experience in such work. In the Nizhny Novgorod region, UAVs delivered more than 2,500 orders to customers, and in Kyotya, as part of the Air Ferry project, they made 288 flights and transported about 670 kg of cargo," the ministry added.
