Russian authorities have barred pilots from taking photos and videos during flights, as reported by the aviation-focused Telegram channel Aviatorshchina. This decision was made in July after a meeting chaired by Deputy Transport Minister Vladimir Poteshkin, who discussed flight safety in the Moscow terminal control area. The ban also includes restrictions on filming the airspace outside the aircraft, which took effect in late July.
Additionally, Rosaviatsiya, Russia’s civil aviation agency, lowered the maximum flight altitude near Moscow airports to 4,900 meters and banned transit flights over Moscow and the surrounding Moscow Region, citing safety concerns due to ongoing Ukrainian attacks on Russian infrastructure.
