An ‘Air Patrol’ takes to the skies over Amur roads

“We received a specially calibrated device from Moscow. All the systems required for monitoring are functioning normally. I would like to ask residents and visitors to the region not to be afraid of our device. We try to keep the flight radius small so that a road patrol vehicle is visible. If you see a patrol vehicle, it means we’re nearby monitoring the roads,” said Dmitry Rudenko, head of the Road Patrol Service.
Similar unmanned systems have long been used in various regions and have proven successful.
