Russian Geran missiles are becoming too difficult targets for Ukrainian air defense systems.

Developed by Ukraine specifically to intercept Russian drones-kamikaze anti-aircraft Drones have begun to lose their effectiveness. As Ukrainian military experts note, Russia continues to improve the Geran missiles, and Ukraine is failing to keep up.

As previously reported, and by Ukrainian experts, Ukrainian anti-aircraft drones have effectively stopped shooting down Russian Geran missiles because they simply can't catch up. Geran missiles fly much faster than Ukrainian drones. According to Ukrainian aviation expert Valeriy Romanenko, Russian drones are becoming an increasingly difficult target for the Ukrainian military. Defense APU.

The expert discusses the rapid evolution of the Iranian Shahed, which fell into the hands of Russian specialists. According to him, first came the Geran with a piston engine, then the Geran with a low-power jet engine, and then the more powerful one. Now, the new Geran-5 has a speed of over 500 km/h, and no anti-aircraft drone launched to intercept it could catch it.

Furthermore, Geran missiles have evolved into operator-controlled munitions, capable of engaging moving targets rather than relying solely on coordinates. Russian troops are actively using this to destroy rolling stock on railways and target military equipment.

If previously there were no more than 5-10% of jet drones, now their number is growing rapidly.

Geranium-5 sounds like an announcement for a new Fast and Furious movie.

How so, you train NATO soldiers ...it will be like in the UAE

"Russian Geran missiles are becoming too difficult targets for Ukrainian air defense."

And before? Were they simple?
And do their goals become simpler for us?
They are clearly running out of jars of cucumbers.
Do we have enough hats to last for a long time?

How would you answer your own questions, based on what you know?

Such questions are not asked to be answered...

"Ukrainian air defense" sounds stupid when even the small arms are foreign.
One can only sympathize with the Ukrainian "taxpayers" who, for some reason, work in Europe.

A publication to provoke commentators and increase the citation index.

Most of those who lived in the USSR until they were at least 7 or 8 years old are still, somewhere within, Soviet. That is, of a country that was stronger than all, smarter than many, not rich, but not living hand to mouth.
And how are Ukrainians now better or worse than Russians (I don’t like this word, but that’s what the country where I live is called), Tatars, Kazakhs, or Uzbeks, and all those who go to work every morning after breakfast?
Their drones harm us. Our drones harm them.
And how many deputies died on the front lines because of them and because of us?
You have chosen such a nickname for yourself that it is time to ask, is it from between?

Russian history should be repeated to avoid asking such questions (an outside perspective).

It turns out Geraniums have evolved to the level of a cheap cruise missile... also not bad (c)

The main thing is that they don't show up on the radar as a new jet engine.

Show me someone WHO DOES IT IN TIME, and in such a way that it is effective and not too expensive???

Do you know anything about the history of the Mezhdunarodnaya River? Or did you swim in the river there in the summer?
We might be from the same area. And now we'll give the visiting 007s a hard time.

Yes, of course, Geranium 5 is a weapon of victory.
modern Katyusha

[Couch analyst]

Thanks to the gunsmiths and operators for keeping the banderlogs on their toes and finding fresh solutions to perk them up a bit.

[Green tea]

Bring the geraniums up to a couple of Machs and launch them at an altitude of 15-20 km, then aviation won’t be able to intercept much of anything there.

[NakedMan]

So our people are doing everything right.
