Russia has accumulated about 6,200 Geran kamikaze drones of various versions for large-scale attacks against Ukraine, according to Ukrainian military intelligence.
Limited production capacity prevents Russian forces from maintaining the highest rate of drone launches continuously, the intelligence agency said.
When Russian forces are replenishing their stockpiles, they typically launch about 150 to 200 drones at a time.
The term “Geran” covers several Russian versions of the Iranian-designed Shahed kamikaze drone.
Russian forces use the drone in attacks against Ukrainian cities and infrastructure, often launching them alongside missiles and other types of drones in an attempt to overwhelm air defenses.
