Russian Geran-2 kamikaze drones, which are mainly used to engage ground targets, could be armed with air-to-air missiles. This proposal was made by the Telegram channel "Military Chronicle".
The author did not rule out that the Geran could be turned into carriers of aviation weapons — short-range R-60M missiles.
It is noted that the new fighter drone will need a system that integrates the thermal homing head of the missile into the drone's control loop. The channel emphasized that the elimination of even one F-16 would justify the construction of hundreds of such drones.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that the first footage of the flight of the latest Geran-2 at a great height has appeared.
