Russia Unveils Integrated Firefighting Drone Hub

A new research and production complex is set to debut in St. Petersburg next year, introducing Russia’s first unmanned aerial systems tailored specifically for firefighting missions. The announcement came from Nikita Dontsov, chief executive of Infintech Corporation, during a briefing that highlighted a strategic push to merge advanced drone technology with streamlined industrial processes. The project centers on a single, integrated hub dedicated to fire response, uniting research, development, and field operations into a cohesive ecosystem. The aim is to elevate national capacity to combat fires through autonomous platforms, improved data flows, and practical deployment pipelines that connect every stage from concept to real-world action in one centralized, efficient infrastructure.
