Ukraine Develops New Interceptor Drones to Stop Russia's High-Speed Geran AttacksUkraine is rapidly developing a new generation of interceptor drones and electronic warfare systems as Russia increases the use of faster jet-powered Geran unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), according to Western reports.
Jet-Powered Geran Drones Present a New ChallengeUkraine's first generation of interceptor drones proved effective against the slower Geran-1, Geran-2, and Gerbera drones, which typically fly at around 185 km/h (115 mph).
Ukraine Develops Faster Interceptor DronesIn response, Ukrainian manufacturers are designing new interceptor drones equipped with turbojet engines and automated guidance systems.
In some attack waves, between 40% and 60% of objects that initially appear to be Geran drones reportedly turn out to be unarmed Gerbera decoys.
At the same time, destroying faster jet-powered drones may require significantly more expensive missiles.
