While visiting the exhibition of the latest Russian unmanned aerial systems in Minsk, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko discussed promising areas of cooperation with Russia, BelTA has learned.

Among the participants in the event on Russia’s behalf are Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Executive Office Maxim Oreshkin and special representative of the Russian president for digital and technological development Dmitry Peskov.

The president shared his plans to visit the exhibition as he made new government appointments on 4 March. “We need to step up in this sector. The demand is great,” the Belarusian leader said.

The display features drones for agriculture, terrain monitoring, and also cargo drones.

For example, Gemini complex from Geoscan is used for aerial photography. Due to its portability, it is possible to take pictures and made video in urban environment and places with complex terrain. It is also used to create 3D models of cultural monuments and surveying works.

The drone Strekoza (Dragonfly) by the Laboratory of the Future helps monitor the condition of power lines and repair wires right in the air.

Another exhibit is SeaDrone, developed by Drone Solutions. It is an all-weather drone that can land on water and operate even in extreme conditions of northern latitudes. It is capable of video recording and carrying cargoes weighing up to 5 kg. The drone was tested in the Kara Sea in the Arctic.

OG-40E produced by Glory Air is an airplane-type drone equipped with an electric engine and a parachute system designed to perform emergency landings on unprepared landing sites and soils.

An artist drone by SVERKH will be on display as well. The drone was used to set a world record by creating a mural with the size of 300 m2. This mural became the world's largest art object created by a drone. In 2024, a new version of the drone was developed to support group operation. At the Archipelago 2024 in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, the mural was created by two drones operating simultaneously. The work was conducted in cooperation with an artist.

The exhibition demonstrates the results of the Russian national drone project and also the solutions of the National Technological Initiative.
