The incident occurred on April 25 with a plane flying from Moscow to Vladikavkaz. An unknown aircraft was spotted near the capital’s Sheremetyevo airport.
The drone was moving exactly along the liner’s trajectory. «At the moment of gaining altitude, the captain of the aircraft spotted a white copter — at an altitude of about 600 metres above the Sheremetevskaya railway station,» the report said
The pilots notified the dispatcher of the situation. It is noted that, despite this, the aircraft took off successfully. At present, the airport security service and the police are establishing the point of launch of the drone and the identity of its owner.
Earlier, the sky over Moscow’s Vnukovo airport was temporarily closed due to a report of a suspected unidentified drone. Law enforcement officers arrived on the scene.
