Additional components in the drones were traced to weapons originating in the United States, Germany, Switzerland and China, The Sun reported.
Russia’s Alabuga plant in Tatarstan now churns out about 4,000 jet-powered Geran-4 and Geran-5 drones each month, plus another 2,000 of the older propeller-driven Geran-2 models.
The Geran-5 can reach speeds of 375mph, far outpacing Ukraine’s current fleet of interceptor drones.
Even the slower Geran-4 cruises at 185 to 215mph, with a dash capability approaching 310mph, still dramatically faster than the 110 to 125mph of its piston-engined predecessor.
