ISW analysts assessed the threat of Russian Geranium drones with a new warhead for Kyiv bridges

Russian kamikaze drones of the “Geran” family, which began to be equipped with a cumulative cutting special load (KRSN), will be able to disable the main bridges of Kyiv. Analysts from the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) recognized the danger of the new warhead for Ukraine.

It is noted that the Geranium jets with a new warhead make it possible to hit structural elements of bridges and power line supports.

The publication admitted that the updated drones were used to strike the South Bridge in Kyiv. At the same time, analysts emphasize that significant damage to such a structure can only be caused by repeated impacts over a short period of time.

“Adaptations of the Geranium attack drone could allow Russian forces to carry out multiple targeted strikes against weak points in structures, which could ultimately lead to serious damage to infrastructure such as the South Bridge,” the material says.
