MOSCOW, July 7. /TASS/.

"We are also creating the [unmanned aerial vehicles identification] system in accordance with your assignment. The relevant roadmap has been developed. We will make the submission to the government during the next two weeks and we fundamentally understand that it would work in full scope by spring of the next year thus far," Nikitin said.
