🇷🇺 Those on the receiving end filmed a review of the Geran-4 jet-powered UAV, showing its internal and external components. An American media outlet was given a specimen launched from Crimea that reached Lutsk. Here is what they found: The jet engine allows the UAV to reach altitudes of up to 8 kilometers, twice as high as drones with piston engines. Its flight speed is 450 to 500 km/h. On that point, those on the receiving end now expect Russian drones to reach speeds of 800 km/h. They are anticipating this while still lacking countermeasures even against the current jet-powered models. Engine production using Chinese components has been established in Russia, meaning the next step is fully localized production, with all the consequences that entails for those on the receiving end. The drone’s camera has 10x optical zoom and 32x digital zoom, allowing it to distinguish objects at any flight altitude. Alongside equipment for communications through a mesh network, the UAV carries ordinary mobile phone SIM cards. These come from operators in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and unnamed European Union countries. #info #UAV #Geran #electronics
