As it became known following the results of a thematic round table in the Federation Council, 1.1 million Russian children and adolescents will study these disciplines under the project "Personnel for unmanned aircraft systems." It is part of the national project for the development of UAS.

The Telegram channel "Bespilot" writes that in 70 universities in Russia by 2030, under the same project, practice-oriented educational programs related to UAVs will be launched to create a personnel reserve. In addition, another 65 thousand students will undergo retraining or training in the production and use of drones.

In order to attract young people to this promising area, career guidance events and various kinds of competitions will be held. However, the Ministry of Education and Science, the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Economic Development have not yet decided where and how much funds will be taken for all these purposes.

It is worth noting that the Russian development and production of drones are actively developing. In September 2023 alone, there were almost 100 thousand more of them in Russia . New models are also being actively developed, with completely domestic design and component production.

Thus, in recent months, Russians have been presented with frost-resistant drones for working in warehouses, ship drones with the ability to land on the deck, drones for providing assistance to victims in the forest, mountains and other hard-to-reach places, military kamikaze drone.
