Report claims Russia shifting from Geran-2 to faster jet-powered Geran variants for strike missions
A Telegram post claims Russia is gradually shifting emphasis from slower, cheaper Geran-2 loitering munitions to faster jet-powered Geran-4 and Geran-5 variants to complicate Ukrainian air defenses. The post frames this as a change in raid structure and interception economics rather than describing a specific strike.
