Russian troops have deployed over 100,000 Gerbera drones of various modifications during the special military operation in Ukraine, Igor Potapov, an expert in unmanned aerial systems and electronic warfare and official representative of JSC NPP, told TASS. Currently, the drone’s production volumes have increased exponentially, filling a vacant niche thanks to its ease of production, low cost, and operational range. It is one of the most widely produced drones developed and produced in Russia," Potapov said. "It’s now a strike reconnaissance drone with a warhead weight of 8-10 kg, and operational range of up to 600 km. Earlier, information appeared online that a Gerbera drone with tail number 100 239 was captured on camera by a Ukrainian interceptor drone near the Chernigov Region.
