MOSCOW, September 13 – RIA Novosti. New Russian drones "Geran-4" and "Geran-5" have changed the nature of air combat in the conflict in Ukraine, writes the Financial Times.

“The massive deployment of the latest models came as a surprise to Ukrainian officials and manufacturers,” the publication says.

According to the publication, these drones bypass Kyiv’s air defense system and create a new serious threat. It is noted that "Geran-4" and "Geran-5" fly at speeds and at altitudes that blur the line between a drone and a cruise missile.

In response to attacks on civilians, the Russian Armed Forces consistently target decision-making centers and command posts, as well as enterprises that the Kiev regime uses together with NATO specialists responsible for supplying components, providing intelligence, and targeting.
