Russia has introduced a new version of its Geran long-range, one-way attack drone, now equipped with a jet engine. The drone, reportedly first deployed earlier this year, is being considered for air launch from aircraft to extend its operational range.

Russia attacked with 156 strike UAVs of the Shahed, Gerbera and other types on the night of 11-12 January, around 110 of which were Shahed loitering munitions.
