The Russian Geran-3 strike drone has already reached combat readiness, but it has a number of serious drawbacks.
The disadvantages of the Geran-3 include the hot exhaust of the jet engine, which increases the drone's visibility in the infrared range. Because of this, the drone becomes too vulnerable on pursuit courses for anti-aircraft missiles with infrared homing.
Another disadvantage is the higher production cost compared to the previous Geran-2 due to the complex engine. This may limit the possibility of massive strikes or require the development of new tactical methods of its use.
The key difference of the Geran-3 is its speed of up to 600 km/h. Also, the drone is made using stealth technologies — the effective scattering area does not exceed 0.05 m². These factors complicate interception and require the use of more expensive anti-aircraft missiles.
