Reactive "Geran" with ICE Lost Relevance Due to Interceptors

Drones Will Have to Be Accelerated Even More

Reactive "Geran-3" drones with an internal combustion engine have lost their invulnerability in the face of the development of interceptor drones. Footage of the drone being hit was published by the Telegram channel "Military Informant."

The published videos show two cases of interceptor drones intercepting reactive "Gerans" in pursuit from the rear hemisphere. It was stated that the "Geran-3" flies at speeds of up to 500 km/h.

This suggests that interceptors are capable of flying significantly faster than a reactive drone and catching up with it.

Apparently, a classic winged missile design is needed to reliably evade interception at speeds above 500 km/h. It is now more rational to use the "Geran-3" in situations where they are not opposed by developed air defense.
