Manoilo emphasized that the Gonets satellite system sees great potential in working with drones.

We are constantly working on communication solutions to create an information environment in vast territories. The Krasnoyarsk Territory is the largest in Russia, and we expect that Gonets satellite solutions for UAS will contribute to the development of its digitalization, which increasingly includes space technologies.
