            Why Russia’s Geran-5 Drone Becoming Nightmare for Ukraine’s Air Defenses
            Arya News - The Geran-5 jet-powered attack drone can already be compared to a cruise missile in terms of its effective performance, military expert Evgeny Mikhailov told Sputnik.

            He touted the Geran-5 as a domestically made and relatively inexpensive drone, which has great potential for destroying enemy targets.It is the Geran-5’s speed, massive warhead and a certain degree of invulnerability which makes the drone “a serious strike component of the Russian armed forces,” Mikhailov concluded.

            The Geran-5 jet-powered attack drone can already be compared to a cruise missile in terms of its effective performance, military expert Evgeny Mikhailov told Sputnik commenting on Russia continuing to increase production of such UAVs.
            He touted the Geran-5 as a domestically made and relatively inexpensive drone, which has great potential for destroying enemy targets.
            “And this poses a serious threat to the Kiev regime because the Geran-5 is a strike drone that is extremely difficult to intercept, especially given the current regrettable state of Ukraine’s air defenses. The drone’s high speed makes it very difficult to shoot down, while its full capabilities have yet to be revealed,” the expert stressed.
            It is the Geran-5’s speed, massive warhead and a certain degree of invulnerability which makes the drone “a serious strike component of the Russian armed forces,” Mikhailov concluded.
