The Russian Geran-4 "Seeker" turbojet drone has been conducted by Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL). This analysis reveals how these new one-way attack drones are more advanced and lethal compared to previous models.
The Geran-4 can reach speeds of 300 mph, which makes it significantly faster and able to fly at higher altitudes than the older Geran-2 drones.
These drones are designed to evade traditional air defense systems, as evidenced by their usage in Ukraine.
The teardown revealed that many of the drone's components are foreign-made, with a notable reliance on parts from China.
Specific findings include:
A Chinese mesh modem allowing live video transmission up to 300 km, enabling operators in various locations (like Bryansk or Crimea) to control the drone as long as the communication link is functional.
Two GSM modems using SIM cards from several countries, enabling location pings via the cellular network.
A 16-channel CRPA antenna that helps mitigate jamming efforts from Ukrainian forces.
The increasing capabilities of drones like the Geran-4 signal a shift in drone warfare, showcasing faster, more sophisticated technology. These developments indicate a significant evolution in military drone applications, raising concerns about future conflicts and the implications of such advanced military technology.
