At the end of last year, it was reported that Russian Post was planning to test drones. They wanted to test drones in the Urals in the summer, but weather conditions prevented it. The press secretary noted that Russian Post is studying various options for speeding up the delivery of parcels and letters. As the company's management said at the St. Petersburg International Forum, they were only talking about "super-important" cargo, such as medicines. Yesterday, the company's CEO Dmitry Strashnov told RIA Novosti in an interview about negotiations on the use of unmanned aerial vehicles.
Today, users do not have the opportunity to order drone delivery cyprus whatsapp number list from major retailers. And this is not due to the lack of necessary equipment; there are companies in the domestic market that manufacture drones. In addition to Copter Express, which helped with the delivery of Dodo Pizza, there are, at a minimum, Samodron and Dronex, which took first place in the GenerationS smart city startup competition, which is held with the support of the state fund of funds and the development institute, the Russian Venture Company ( RVC). Developers from Minsk have designed drones capable of transporting loads weighing up to 3.5 kg. It is noted that the devices can move freely in dense urban areas. Thus, investors are also interested in the product.

Manufacturers find it difficult to promote their products on the market due to the lack of logistics companies that would use new technologies. Representatives of online platforms, in turn, cannot purchase drones because they are used to outsourcing logistics, says Oleg Ponfilenok, CEO of Copter Express and President of the Small Drone Association.
"The main problem now is that there are no logistics companies on the market that would deliver goods in this way. There are stores interested in this, but they are not ready to purchase quadcopters themselves. Usually, they enter into an agreement with a third-party company to provide goods delivery services," Oleg Ponfilenok, CEO of Copter Express
There is, of course, another, more serious obstacle to the development of the business of UAV manufacturers for delivery. Currently, Russian legislation in terms of regulating airspace and drone flights needs to be revised. Although in July 2016, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law that abolished the mandatory registration of most drones, which will certainly have a positive effect on the market.
