By Veronika Buta: The first all-Belarusian drone race will take place in late July near Minsk as part of the aviation festival Pronebo at Borovaya Airfield.

The event will bring together about 20 drone racing athletes from all over the country. The winner will have a chance to participate in next year’s World Drone Race Championships.

The first drone racing tournament held in Dubai was followed by over 100,000 spectators in 75 countries.

Last year, the Pronebo festival was attended by more than 20,000 people. Back then, the highlight of the festival was a record set by Belarusian skydivers. This year, the airfield will become a venue for a test world championship in helicopter sports.
