Russia has begun producing “Shahed” drones, but Ukraine already has interceptors for the Russian “Geran-3,” “Geran-4,” and “Geran-5” drones.
According to Ukrinform, this was stated by Serhii “Flash” Beskrestnov, an advisor to the Ukrainian Minister of Defense, during a television broadcast.
“We are currently designing—and not just designing—we already have interceptors that will actively engage the Geran-3, -4, and -5. And last month, our guys actually demonstrated how this works and shot down several of these new Russian-made Geran-4 and -5 drones,” Flash said.
As the adviser explained, the Russians have noticed a decline in the effectiveness of conventional “Shaheds,” which is why they began using jet-powered variants—the “Geran-3,” “Geran-4,” and “Geran-5”—with improved performance.
