Due to its high speed, this jet drone can be perceived by Ukrainian air defense as a missile.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> This <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/war_home\/7689\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">is reported by<\/a> the monitoring channel &#8220;Colonel General Staff&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p> The new version of the Gerani-5 has a modified fuselage and an optical-electronic correction module (OEKS\/DSMAC). The system allows the drone to check the route with reference images of the earth&#8217;s surface and correct the flight. A similar navigation principle is used in the X-101 cruise missiles.<\/p>\n<p> According to Russian sources, the optical system was called &#8220;Susanyn.&#8221; It supposedly allows the drone to follow a given route autonomously, without GPS\/GLONASS and radio beacons.<\/p>\n<p> It is also claimed that the Geran-5 K5 is capable of continuing its flight even if communication with the operator is lost or under the influence of electronic warfare equipment.<\/p>\n<p> Recall that <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/rosiia-suttievo-zbilshyla-vyrobnytstvo-reaktyvnykh-droniv-heran-4-5\/\">in August, Russian industry produced about 3,000 Geran-4\/5 jet drones per month, which exceeds the output of Geran-2<\/a> . Russia is reconfiguring part of its production capacity for new jet drones, despite problems with the supply of engines.<\/p>\n<p> As reported, according to intelligence, the drone is six meters long and has a wingspan of over five meters. <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/rosiia-vyprobovuie-novyy-udarnyy-dron-heran-5-shcho-tse-za-zbroia\/\">The weight of the warhead reaches 90 kilograms, and the flight range allows it to hit targets at a distance of up to 1,000 kilometers<\/a> . The occupiers have adapted the device for launch from aircraft, which should make its use cheaper and increase its range.<\/p>\n<p> Also follow <strong>\u201cPryamim\u201d<\/strong> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Facebook<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/prm_ua\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">X<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/+rtV4dxYu2_cyNjVi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Telegram<\/a> , and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Instagram.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Russia has begun using a new modification of the Geran-5 K5 strike drone, which has received an optical autonomous navigation system.
