The enemy for the first time used the "Geran-5" attack drone against Ukraine, the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense reported on Sunday, providing details about it, writes UNN.<\/p>\n

\n

In early 2026, during combined air attacks against Ukraine, Russian occupation forces for the first time used a new attack unmanned aerial vehicle "Geran-5"<\/p>\n

– reported the GUR.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Details<\/h2>\n

According to the GUR, the drone is about 6 meters long and has a wingspan of up to 5.5 meters. Unlike previous modifications of the "Geran" line, the apparatus is made according to a normal aerodynamic scheme. At the same time, most key components and parts are unified with other models of this series.<\/p>\n

In particular, it is reported that a 12-channel satellite navigation system "Kometa", a tracker based on a Raspberry microcomputer and 3G\/4G modems, as well as a Telefly jet engine, similar to that used on the "Geran-3" UAV, but with greater thrust, have been installed.<\/p>\n

The mass of the warhead is about 90 kg, the declared range of destruction is about 1,000 km.<\/p>\n

"As in the case of previous 'Gerans', this UAV can hardly be considered a proprietary development of the Russian Federation. A significant structural and technological similarity with the Iranian Karrar drone has been recorded," the report says.<\/p>\n

"According to available information, the enemy is also working on options for using 'Geran-5' from air carriers, in particular Su-25 aircraft, in order to increase the range and reduce the cost of use. The possibility of equipping the apparatus with R-73 air-to-air missiles to counter Ukrainian aviation is being considered separately," the GUR reported.<\/p>\n

Specialists of the GUR of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, as noted, are already conducting a comprehensive study of the samples used by the enemy. A detailed analysis of the design, components and electronic component base will be published in the near future in the "Means of Destruction" section of the War&Sanctions portal.<\/p>\n
