For the first time, the Russian Federation used a new attack UAV "Geran-5" against Ukraine, - GUR
What is known about the new UAV:
➡️ The length of the device is about 6 metres, the wingspan is up to 5.5 m. Unlike the previous "geraney", the drone is made according to the classic aerodynamic scheme.
➡️ It uses the 12-channel "comet" navigation system, a Raspberry-based tracker, 3G/4G modems, and a Telefly jet engine with more thrust than "Geran-3".
➡️ The weight of the warhead is about 90 kg, the declared range is up to 1000 km.
➡️ Experts note that it is difficult to call the drone an own development of the Russian Federation - a significant similarity with the Iranian Karrar UAV has been recorded.
➡️ The Russian Federation is also working on options for launching the "geran-5" from aircraft, in particular the Su-25, to increase the range and reduce the cost of use.
➡️ The possibility of equipping the drone with R-73 air-to-air missiles to counter Ukrainian aviation is being considered separately.
