Before Aspan Fest, Muravyov will also be participating in an international event in Moscow later in the same month.
While there is no information available about who trained or accompanied Muravyov during his preparation for the World Cup in Istanbul, or about his role in past competitions in Astana and Moscow, one thing is certain: Timofey Muravyov is a rising star in the world of drone racing.
His win at the Drone Racing World Cup marks a significant achievement for Kazakh drone racing, showcasing the talent and potential of Kazakhstan's young drone pilots on the international stage.
