🇮🇷🇷🇺🇺🇦 Russia’s knockoff of Iran’s own drone is apparently so good that Tehran came shopping.

The Geran started as a copy of Iran’s Shahed, and Western security officials say Tehran asked Moscow this year for the advanced versions to use in its war with Israel and the U.S. Ukraine is finding out why the hard way.

Kyiv is intercepting only about 60% of the new jet-powered Geran-4 and Geran-5, compared with the 90 to 95% it routinely manages against older models.

The Geran-5 flies at up to 600 km/h with a 90 kg warhead and a 1,000 km range, which puts it closer to a cruise missile than a drone. Newer versions also carry thermal cameras and AI-powered targeting.

Russia mass-produces them and fixes problems on the fly instead of going through years of testing, and they still cost a fraction of the cruise missiles Moscow used to rely on.

Zelensky says 67 Ukrainian companies are working on ways to shoot them down.

For most of this war, Ukraine was the one setting the pace on drones, and now it’s the one playing catch-up.
