«Герань-3» расцвела: в дронах-камикадзе нашли компоненты из США, Швейцарии и Японии

The Telefly JT80 engine provides acceleration for the kamikaze drone

Components from 45 countries were found in the armament of Russian "Geranium-3" kamikaze drones, Russian media report, citing sources.

Chinese Telefly JT80 turbojet engines are used in the creation of the drone, thanks to which the UAV is able to fly at a speed of 300 to 370 km/h. At the same time, the estimated operating range is up to 1000 km.

In total, 45 foreign components were identified in these turbojet-powered drones, including from the USA, China, Germany and Japan.

"Geranium-3" accelerates mainly in the areas of air defense and electronic warfare systems, in the areas of UAV interceptors and when descending to the target in the terminal stages of the flight.

To ensure the protection of satellite navigation in "Geranium-3", a satellite jam-resistant navigation system with an adaptive antenna array (CRPA) of 12 elements - "Comet-M12" is used.

In the previous version of the strike drone, "Geranium-2", foreign components were also found, mainly from China, the USA and Switzerland.

Earlier www1.ru reported that MiG-31BM interceptors were used in tandem with Tu-22M3 bombers.
