drone-near-missDrones are pretty useful things to own, if you have some bit of disposable income to spare, but do bear in mind that you should learn to use them in a responsible manner. Having said that, while the FAA had already implemented drone registration over in the US, it looks like Russia would like to follow in the FAA’s footsteps, with the possibility of regulating the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or drones, so that the general level of aviation security is increased.

Russia’s federal law of December 30, 2015 that mentioned, “On introducing amendments to the Air Code of the Russian Federation regarding the use of unmanned aerial vehicles”, is all set to come into force this coming March 30 – which is tomorrow.

The document will regulate the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or drones, and it is also seen to be part of an effort to establish a government UAV/drone database. Hmm, does this mean that this drone tank (granted, it does not fly but rather, would ram through some burning twigs in an action scene) needs to be registered as well over in Russia? Not all drones need to be registered – only those with a maximum takeoff mass that is equal to or exceeds 250 grams will be subject to registration.
