📝 🇺🇦 🇷🇺 Ukrainian intelligence says Russia has stockpiled around 6,200 Geran drones for mass strikes, potentially launching 600–1,000 drones in a single attack.

Production of Geran-4/5 alone is estimated at ~3,000 per month.

📎 Clash Report

📢 🇺🇦 🇷🇺 The Ukrainian GUR reports that Russia has suspended production of the Geran-3 jet-drone, as it focuses on maximising its production of the modernised Geran-4 jet-drone.

The Geran-3 was reportedly just a transitional step between the Geran-2 and Geran-4, as it maintained the original Geran-2 airframe, with only the motor being replaced with a jet engine.

This would explain why the Geran-3 hasn't been spotted in use for some time.

📝 Labrador Skeptic: The problem with long wars is that the technological innovation is continuous, which drives ever greater obsolescence of pre-existing weapons.

The slow (~100 mph) Geran-2 "flying lawnmowers" Russia bought from Iran are long gone, and the new generation of ~300 mph jet-powered Geran-4s are what Russia is using long-distance to effectively shut down Ukrainian shipping in the Black Sea, which means shutting down 88% of their former export routes.

The Geran-3 added (Chinese) jet engines, the Geran-4 completely redid the frame to make it suitable for not just high speeds, but to be maneuverable at those speeds. And that tech will be here from here forward, and will likely be in the Gulf shortly if it isn't already there.

Iran/Russia innovated with flying lawnmowers, Ukraine with US technological assistance developed effective anti-drone countermeasures, and those countermeasures are all now obsolete versus the new much faster, higher altitude and maneuverable kamikaze drones. They're more expensive, but Russia is still able to make more than 3k of them a month, per Ukraine.

These are effectively a hybrid of sorts, halfway between the prop-powered drones, and subsonic cruise missiles. Except they are much cheaper to make at volume than cruise missiles. Coming soon to a war near you.
