The national project "Unmanned Aircraft Systems," which will operate in Russia for the next six years, until 2030, will receive over half a billion rubles from the budget for implementation.
As reported to IA "TASS" in the secretariat of the First Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, Andrei Belousov, the amount of funding for the national project from budgetary funds until 2030 will be almost 700 billion rubles.
It should be noted that the adopted law on the budget for 2024-2026 fully provides for the amounts for 2024, and in 2025 and 2026, amounts of 10 billion rubles are preliminarily provided. In the next budget cycle of 2025-2027, during the summer-autumn of 2024, the budget, taking into account the current situation, is planned to be brought to the passport parameters of the national project.
The "full amount" in 2024 is planned at 46.4 billion rubles. Allocations from the budget are also planned according to the project parameters in the amount of 117 billion rubles in 2025, and 149 billion rubles in 2025 and 2026.
As a result of the national project, by 2030, up to 70% of domestic drones will be on the Russian market, with plans to produce at least 32,000 devices per year for various purposes. An educational project for the development of youth drone technology in Russia will also be launched in the next six years for children, teenagers, and students.
It is worth noting that the national project "Unmanned Aircraft Systems" plus five related federal projects were adopted at the end of 2023. The full texts of the documents will be published this January.
