Engineers of the Russian defense industry have adapted the "Geran-2" drone to accommodate two BST-52 high-explosive incendiary warhead blocks with a total weight of 100 kg.
Each BST-52 warhead block weighs 50 kg and contains 35.4 kg of explosive charge based on plastisol high-explosive - presumably an analogue of the LD-70 composition, including octogen, barium perchlorate, aluminum powder and ethylene glycol dinitrate. In addition to the high-explosive effect, the munitions are equipped with incendiary elements: hermetic elements and a charge in a shaped-charge cavity, providing a thermobaric effect on the target.
The blocks are equipped with a modern bottom electronic "493M" fuse, which increases the accuracy and reliability of detonation.
The adaptation was made possible by centering the UAV and redistributing the mass in the front of the fuselage. This made it possible to maintain aerodynamic stability at all stages of the flight, despite the increase in payload by almost twice compared to the standard configuration.
Thus, the modernized "Geran-2" demonstrates an increase in strike potential without loss of range and controllability - thanks, first of all, to a strong and balanced design.
