Russia has published a "drone studies" textbook for 14- and 15-year-olds, part of a Kremlin project to produce a new generation of drone specialists. The textbook, produced by Prosveshchenie publishing house and Russian drone manufacturer Geoscan, contains 34 hours of tuition for an exam and teaches children the classification of different drones, how they are built, and how they are programmed to fly on autopilot.
