Ukraine’s commander says Russia plans to increase use of jet-powered Geran drones in attacks

A Telegram post cites Ukraine’s commander-in-chief Oleksandr Syrskyi saying Russia plans to expand the use of jet-powered strike UAVs against Ukraine, potentially up to 50% of drone attacks. It mentions Geran-3 and Geran-4 (turbojet) and a newer Geran-5-like design, framing this as an evolving tactic rather than a specific strike report.
