Israel hatte sich in den 90er Jahren das Design seiner Kamikazedrohne #Harpy von der (nie produzierten) deutschen #DrohneAntiRadar abgeschaut. Der Iran kopierte es mit #Shahed136, Russland mit #Geran2.
40 Jahre später kommt nun das US-Verteidigungsministerium:

#AFU carried out a strike on April 23, 2025, targeting a facility producing strike #UAVs (“#Geran2,” “#Shahed”-type #drones, and others). It is located in the #Yelabuga district of the Republic of #Tatarstan (Russian Federation), 1,054 km from Ukraine’s state border. Hits and explosions in the target area have been confirmed," the statement said.

The spokesman of the Ukrainian Air Force, Yuriy Ignat, has complained that #Russia has improved the #Geran-2 #drones, making them even harder to shoot down.
He said they now approach the target from different directions, making it harder for Ukrainian air defences to do their job."Even if there is an influence of electronic warfare means on this drone, it can lose communication with the satellite for a while, but when it leaves the area of electronic warfare means, it restores it," said Yuriy Ignat, the spokesman for the #AFU air force.

Not feo' thé Onion : thé Ukraine police stopped a #motorcycle because it's engine has the same noise as the ones used in #Shahed-136/#Geran-2
Poor guy had to prove he is not a drone 😁😁😁😁 -
China revealed what seems to be an exact copy of Iranian #Shahed-136 and #Geran-2 of Russia during a military show in Russia.
Wonder how long will it take before Americans blame Iran for the Chinese drones. -
Geran 2 that is a Russian version of Iranian Shahed 131136 has been on the news a lot lately.
This low tech, low cost drone built on motorcycle engine and modified cellphone electronics, costs less than $4000 to manufacture.With only 40kg payload and rather low speed, it has a limited range and ability to strike armoured vehicles or buildings. But it's "mirror" like function has turned it to a fearful weapons in a war against Ukraine.

Russia attacked #Kiev with Geran-2 dronesaat nigh, in what seems to be the largest number of drones used during a single operation.
The Russian sources say they send 32 drones towards Ukraine's capital, Kiev. First Ukraine said they intercepted 20 drones, but now they say Russia sent 54 drones and Ukrainian forces intercepted 52 of those.
Eyewitness reports mentioned at least 10 explosions on the ground at various locations in Kiev.
I guess this is just another example of lies and miss information about this war and we may never know the real number.
Pa. Maybe someone in Ukraine is stealing the anti aircraft missiles and using this to hide their theft, like Iran's IRGC did back in mid 80s with SCUD missiles.

Russian telegram channels claim that Russia has upgrade the navigation system of Geran-2 drones and replaced the low accuracy GPS systems with radar detecting electronics to target Ukrainian S-300 and Patriot air defense systems.
The Shahed -131/136 that Russian Geran-2 is based on, has an accuracy of ±2m but the recent attacks by these drones showing direct hit at the Ukrainian Mobile air defense system (or those received by Ukraine from NATO).
This is an interesting upgrade for a cheap drone that cost less than $4000 to take out a multi million dollars system like Patriot or S-300.
Of course, as always, there are no ways to verify the accuracy of these claims and the attacks could have been done by the more advanced Lancet drones.

First Images of patriot missiles in Ukraine were posted on a Russian friendly Telegram channel.
Russia claims they destroyed 2 patriot launching system as well as a large number of missiles in the past 72h strikes using Geran-2 drones to lure Ukraine forces to activate their radar followed by radar detecting missiles that hit those targets.CNN reported that one patriot missile system was lightly damaged during the Monday missile strikes "somewhere" in Ukraine.
Without independent reporters on the ground, it is impossible to know which side telling the truth or lying and how much of the truth is in what ww hear and read from them.
But one thing is for sure, patriot systems were operational in Ukraine as the images showing.

Ukraine ammunition depot reportedly hit in wave of Russian missile attacks
Ukraine claimed they intercepted 15 out of 18 missiles as Moscow launches strikes apparently designed to hamper Kyiv’s plans for a counteroffensiveBut Russian sources and eye witness report says that they used Geran-2 drones to identify and locate radars and air defense system of Ukraine forces that were later hit by the supersonic KH101 followed by massive bombing by 17 TU-95 strategic bombers who could operate without any major air defense activities.
This is the biggest bombing operation into a single position of Ukrainien forces by Russia and it seems to target storage facilities and amonition depot of NATO/Ukraine forces planned to be used during the anticipated counter offensive by Kiev's troops.
Russian missiles have struck warehouses reportedly storing ammunition at a railway depot in the Ukrainian city of Pavlohrad, in an apparent effort to slow Kyiv’s preparations for its much anticipated counteroffensive expected to start shortly.
Video posted on social media showed secondary detonations amid a significant blaze at the site of the strike, which came amid overnight missile launches against a number of Ukrainian cities by Russian strategic bombers.
The size of the fire in Pavlohrad suggests Russia may have hit an important arms depot and comes after Ukraine’s recent attack on an oil storage facility in Sevastopol, Crimea.

Iranian defense industry just announced that the drone manufacturing facility in Tajikistan is fully operational!
The news was reported about a year ago, but it didn't go into production until recently. The "Ababil-2" is a larger drone with bigger payload and more versatile use fhan the low cost Shahed 134 that's been on the news a lot lately.On May 17, 2022, Iran inaugurated a drone factory in neighboring #Tajikistan. The factory is officially #Iran’s first drone production facility abroad and will manufacture and export the Ababil-2, a multipurpose drone with reconnaissance, combat, and suicide capabilities. With this factory, Iran intends to reinforce bilateral relations and reduce recent tensions with Tajikistan, address shared security concerns on the Afghan border, boost profits in a growing export market, and complicate Israeli efforts to further sabotage its drone program.
No reliabld information about the source of the engine and electronics used in those drones are available other than some speculations by Israeli and Azeri media.
There are news of #Venezuela, #Nicaragua, #Ethiopia and 2 other countries interested in license manufacture Iranian designed drones, but the information can't be verified.
This is also not including the roumers of Russia manufacturing Shahed drones domestically with the code name #Geran2 that was used by the 100s in the past year to target Ukrainian facilities and to overwhelm their air defense system.
