Russia reportedly fields enlarged Gerbera UAV variant with heavier warhead

Ukrainian sources claim Russia is actively using a larger “Gerbera” UAV variant, significantly bigger than the earlier foam-bodied decoy version. The increased airframe size reportedly enables a more powerful internal combustion engine and either a substantially larger fuel load or a warhead up to ~50 kg, shifting it from primarily a decoy role toward a more capable strike platform.
