The production of drones for agricultural needs will be launched in the Moscow region, said the head of the region, Andrey Vorobyov. It concerns the products of the Belarusian-Chinese company "Aviation Technologies and Complexes."
According to Vorobyov, the company produces unmanned aerial systems, modern ultralight manned aviation equipment for dual use.
Among the developments is an analogue of a helicopter that can fly in bad weather and at night, does not require a runway and consumes 95-octane gasoline.
There is no information yet on which agricultural drones will be produced in the Moscow region. Presumably, it will be the A60-X model with a maximum take-off weight of 55 kg. It is known that within an hour the drone can process a plot of 5 hectares.
Earlier it was reported that the "Kirovets" unmanned tractors used by Russian farmers allow saving up to 30% of the costs of fertilizers, fuels and lubricants and seeds.
