I’m Russian, and I live in Spain for about 20 years now. When I bring my spark into Russia it’s no problem, the most you do is show it at the customs that it has nothing illegal stuff inside it think, like you do with laptops and that’s it. And for flying it’s a completely different story.
I always fly outside the city, I’m from St. Petersburg, I wouldn’t risk it flying in the city. The fine for flying the drone is 5000 rubles, which is about 65 euros.
And supposedly you get the fine for every takeoff!!! In order to not get the fine, you need to apply for a permit for every flight, which is an impossible procedure even for the Russians, so nobody ever gets the permission. Everybody just flies away from public and away from the police. Again, I wouldn’t risk it flying in the city, but there are many everyday pictures taken from a drone in St Petersburg on Vkontakte, which is Russsian Facebook. So it’s up to you really if you want to risk it and then bribe the police and by the way there are no laws limiting your flights in place yet I think, for example you can go max 500 meters, there is no law limiting the height to 120 meters. But I always fly responsibly nevertheless. I only do the high flying test in my country house which is about 100 km away from St Petersburg.
Great! Details information that what I need. I think the situation is like the China. But Russia does not like China have a proper channel to apply permit or register. I just flow in China in rural was no problem.
Anyway, great appreciate to Alex! |
