Russian drone flight to 33000 ft

This probably isn't so much a regulation as a lack thereof. Anyone on the forum from Russia? Apparently Russia doesn't have max height limitations?

That seems hard to believe, the air is so thin at that altitude and extremely cold. Think of the battery life required to fly over six miles up, and then back down. Also not knowing what camera and lens he had, the picture of the earth doesn't seem accurate unless he was using a wide angle lens like a 10 - 20 mm. Maybe he did, but I question it.

Read elsewhere that special props were used & extra batteries strapped on to it
