Russian military personnel began using Geran-2 kamikaze drones with a thermobaric warhead. Forbes drew attention to this.
The authors noted that there are several different types of warheads, each of which is optimized for a specific task.
Initially, the drones were equipped with a high-explosive fragmentation warhead. Then cumulative charges with incendiary elements and a high-explosive incendiary fragmentation warhead appeared, and now there are also thermobaric options. Such warheads provoke a more powerful explosion, which increases the degree of damage to enemy fortifications.
The "Geraniums" are equipped with low-power engines, the heat dissipation of which is minimal, therefore it is difficult for electronic warfare and air defense systems to detect them. The material of the glider body mainly consists of composite and metal ribs for rigidity.
Flight range is 2000 kilometers, speed is about 180 km/h.
Earlier www1.ru reported that Russia will supply Su-35S abroad: negotiations on the most dangerous fighters in the world have already begun.
