The aviation regulator explained what Russians face for launching drones without permission. In short: it is better to get this permission, because at best the fine may be equivalent to the cost of the drone.
«Questions about determining responsibility in case of unauthorized use of a drone, violation of airspace and other similar actions are not within the competence of Rosaviatsiya. But we believe it is necessary to talk about the fact that violation of the rules for the use of airspace entails the imposition of fines (Article 11.4 of the Administrative Code), and in the event of serious harm to health or death of a person - imprisonment (Article 271.1 of the Criminal Code)», the regulator said.
According to Article 11.4 of the Administrative Code "Violation of the rules for the use of airspace", fines for individuals amount to 20-50 thousand rubles, for officials - 50-150 thousand, for legal entities - 250-500 thousand. In accordance with Article 271.1. "Violation of the rules for the use of the airspace of the Russian Federation"), in the event of causing serious harm to health or death of a person through negligence, the perpetrator may face imprisonment for up to 7 years.
And also, in the case of illegal photo and video shooting from a drone, they can be prosecuted for treason, espionage or disclosure of state secrets.
