Russia has imposed flight restrictions on small aircraft over Moscow and several surrounding regions, effective June 20th. The move follows a series of reported unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) attacks. Affected areas include regions surrounding the capital, impacting civilian aviation. The restrictions are significantly disrupting pilot training centers and broader personnel training programs within the country. Russian authorities have not specified the duration of the ban, citing security concerns. This action underscores heightened anxieties regarding aerial threats within Russian territory and potential escalation of the conflict. The ban impacts both recreational and professional flight operations.
