Russia stopped producing the jet-powered Geran-3, which became a transitional design toward the Geran-4, Ukraine’s HUR says. While the Geran-3 retained a largely Geran-2-based airframe and Telefly JT80 engine, the Geran-4 airframe was specifically adapted for the more powerful LX-WP-160. #Ukraine

Russia is simultaneously using cheap Gerbera drones as decoys, standard Geran-2s, new jet-powered Geran-4s and heavier Geran-5s, as well as cruise and ballistic missiles. For Ukrainian air defense, this means large numbers of targets appearing simultaneously at different speeds
