You absolutely unequivocally cannot simply casually bring a drone into the country without extensive prior documentation. You must firmly declare the equipment immediately at the customs desk upon arrival at the international airport.

More crucially you must proactively explicitly obtain a formal authorization letter from the Ministry of Defense and the Civil Aviation Authority weeks before you even board your flight. If you fail to secure these specific permits the customs officers will instantly permanently confiscate your highly expensive equipment at the border.
