Geran drone tore off the automatic cannon of the Gepard self-propelled gun

The 35-mm gun of the anti-aircraft system was thrown several meters away

The Russian Geran kamikaze drone is effective not only against static objects with known coordinates, but also against moving ones. Footage has appeared online showing the aftermath of a drone strike on a German-made Gepard self-propelled anti-aircraft gun.

The combat vehicle sustained fatal damage — the explosion tore off one of its 35-mm Oerlikon KDA automatic cannons. It was thrown several meters away from the hull.

A few weeks ago, the official characteristics of the most mass-produced Geran-2 were revealed for the first time. Without fuel, the drone weighs between 140–155 kg. With fuel, it weighs from 200 to 250 kg. The maximum speed of the Geran-2 is up to 190 km/h.

Geran-2s are capable of flying up to 2500 km, remaining in the air for a long time. However, there are also new models, such as Geran-4 and Geran-5.
