A military expert spoke about the advantages of the Geran-3 UAV

The latest Russian strike drone, the Geran-3, is capable of autonomous combat missions without operator involvement. Anatoly Matviychuk, a military expert and retired colonel, told about this on Monday, June 30.

Matviychuk said that the homing head and control system have been changed in the latest drones. If Geran-2 was subject to electronic interference and could be suppressed by electronic means of combating UAVs, then Geran-3 has an autonomous circuit.

"As a matter of fact, this is programming based on relief points. That is, even when the control system is completely disconnected from the operator, Geran-3 performs its task according to the points programmed before launch. It is practically free from interference and performs its task autonomously, regardless of the operator," he explained in a conversation with Lenta.Ru .

Matviychuk added that new drones have recently begun to be used in attacks on Kiev, Kharkiv, as well as at all points that are critically important for the Russian army.
