«It is a matter of the implementation of our plans on creating the space positioning system GLONASS. It is a hi-tech, innovative field, which is extremely important for our state both from the point of view of economy and for strengthening the country’s defense capacity.

It is necessary to strive for the active introduction of this system on land, air, sea and rail transport. And yet this is not enough, it is necessary for administrative officers of different ranks on the regional and municipal levels to understand the advantage of this system introduction.

In general, I want us to be heard in regions and municipalities today, I want heads of those structures to know and understand that it is a nation-wide task – the introduction of this system. But we can effectively solve it only with their help and support. It is necessary for municipal and medical transport, transport of the Ministry of Emergency Situations and police to be equipped with such systems of space positioning».
