Russia makes national tracking network link mandatory for civilian drones over 250g
Russia is tightening control of civilian drones by linking flight plan approval to connection with its national tracking system. From Oct. 1, flight plans for civilian drones weighing more than 250 grams will be rejected unless connection to the ERA-GLONASS national telematics platform is confirmed. Owners must verify an active ERA-GLONASS account when submitting plans. The move ties a remote identification system launched in March to actual flight permissions.
