MOSCOW: A Russian-made drone on its way to making a first parcel delivery crashed into a wall and crumbled to pieces in the Siberian city of Ulan-Ude on April 2, shocking local residents and regional officials at the scene.
The unmanned aerial vehicle was sent to deliver a small package to a neighbouring village in a ceremony meant to showcase a new way to deliver mail in the sparsely populated Buryatia region located more than 4,400 km east of Moscow.
