The Russian "Gerbera" drone can be used not only as a false target to divert the attention of air defense systems, but also to obtain various intelligence information.
Experts clarified that information from the "Gerbera" board is also transmitted to the calculations of the operational tactical missile system "Iskander-M".
Cheap and practical
A significant advantage of the device is its low cost. "Gerbera" is made of plywood and foam, which allows it to be produced in large quantities.
In addition, the drone is less visible to radar detection equipment due to a special coating, military experts reminded.
Not just a scout
There are also various versions of "Gerbera", on board of which there are warheads for striking at enemy military facilities.
According to the footage presented on the Web, sometimes "Gerbera" also carries a warhead. The drone is equipped with a camera and a modem for transmitting video to the operator.
Flies 400 km, but can go further
Gerbera" can connect to their local 4G networks and transmit the necessary data to the drone operator.
The "Gerbera" drone was developed at the Gastello Design Bureau. According to information from open sources, it had an effective range of 300-400 km, a warhead weight of 5-7 kg and a radio navigation module. It was also reported on the Web that the drone flies 700 km or more.
