The Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation has announced that all ultralight drones (i.e., weighing up to 115 kg) will have to be registered from September 1, 2024. This means absolutely all consumer drones.
The corresponding decree was signed by the Chairman of the Government, Mikhail Mishustin. Aircraft in this category will be registered according to the same rules that are currently used to register "light" drones. The changes to the Registration Rules will come into force on September 1, 2024. After that, owners of such aircraft will have 60 days to register them in accordance with the updated rules.
The Ministry of Transport reminded that the rules for registering drones have been in effect since 2019, but they do not currently apply to ultra-small UAVs.
