Russia claims use of jet-powered Geran-4 Siker and Geran-5 in Kyiv strikes

The post claims Russian forces used jet-powered Shahed/Geran variants (“Geran-4 Siker” and “Geran-5”) for a sustained strike campaign around Kyiv. The novelty is the asserted shift to faster ‘reactive’ Gerans that are harder for interceptor drones to catch and more costly to defeat with SAMs, potentially increasing strike throughput against rear-area targets.
