Russia could potentially reach nearly all of Europe with its latest Shahed (Geran-2) drones that now have a range of around 2,500 kilometers (1,600 miles). According to Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR), the Shahed / Geran-2 UAV has an estimated range of 1,800-2,500 kilometers (1,100- 1,600 miles). St. Petersburg is also highlighted as a highly advantageous launch area in terms of logistics and reach into Europe. AdvertisementAt the lower range limit, Russia could strike Scandinavia, the Netherlands, much of Germany, and southern Italy, while at the upper end almost all of Europe would be in range – including the UK, France, Italy, and even Madrid - only Portugal would be out of reach. Possible locations include Belarus’ Osovtsy air base or Russia’s Kaliningrad region, both of which would significantly extend Moscow’s reach.
