Russia Deploys New Geran-5 Jet-Powered Drones in Ukraine Conflict
Russia has deployed a new long-range, jet-powered drone called the Geran-5 in its conflict with Ukraine. This drone features a cruise missile-like design, a range of up to 1,000 km, a maximum altitude of 6,000 meters, speeds around 600 km/h, and anti-jamming capabilities. Ukrainian air defenses intercept about 60% of Geran-5 attacks, lower than the 95% interception rate for other drones, forcing Ukraine to use fighter jets more intensively. The Geran-5 also uses machine vision and digital terrain mapping for autonomous target selection.
