"The Geran-3 first appeared in Ukraine earlier this year, and the drone has since become a common element of Russian attacks. It is a faster, more advanced iteration of the Geran-2, Russia's domestically produced version of the Iranian Shahed-136. Unlike the Geran-2, which is propeller-driven, the Geran-3 has a turbojet engine that allows the drone to move at speeds of up to 370 kilometers per hour (230 miles per hour) with a range of 1,000 kilometers (620 miles)."
"The Geran-3 usually reaches maximum speed in areas covered by Ukrainian air defenses and during the terminal phase of its flight, the HUR wrote in a statement shared to the Telegram messaging app. The HUR said that the Geran-3's internal layout and electronic units are similar to those of the Geran-2 variant, and available data suggests that this new jet-powered drone is equipped with the same camera and video transmission system as its predecessor."
The Geran-3 is a jet-powered Russian attack drone modeled on the Iranian Shahed-238. It uses a turbojet engine, reaches up to 370 kilometers per hour, and has a range of about 1,000 kilometers. The weapon carries explosives and detonates on impact after diving toward targets. The drone typically accelerates to maximum speed in areas covered by Ukrainian air defenses and during its terminal flight phase. Internal layout and electronic units resemble the propeller-driven Geran-2, and it appears to use the same camera and video transmission system. The Geran-3 features a satellite navigation system that appears resistant to extensive electronic warfare. Nearly fifty foreign-made components are present in its construction.
