🚨🇷🇺🇺🇦 Russia has begun attacking Ukraine with an upgraded version of the Gerbera UAV, with a range of up to 1,200 km and the ability to carry a warhead weighing up to 25 kg, according to Ukrainian intelligence.
Notably, the Gerbera was initially a low-cost UAV used as a decoy to overwhelm Ukraine’s air defense systems. However, Russia has gradually turned them into real attack weapons.
The new versions are equipped with a Kometa navigation system, a mesh communications modem, and a modern camera with image stabilization, bringing the Gerbera’s capabilities closer to those of the more expensive Geran UAVs.
According to Ukraine, these upgrades allow Russia to expand its attack range while still taking advantage of the Gerbera UAV’s low cost.
