Sept 9 (Interfax) - MiG Aircraft Corporation will develop an unmanned aerial vehicle for the Russian Defense Ministry and the projects' dimensional parameters have by now been determined, MiG Aircraft Corporation former CEO Sergei Korotkov, who will chair the board of directors at MiG, told reporters on Tuesday.
"We have built up the project base. We have resources and technologies. We have preliminarily projected the dimensions of the vehicle: five tonnes.
