Russia has a new version of the Gerań-5 drone. It flies at speeds of up to 1000 km/h

The Ukrainian military intelligence reported a new variant of the Gerań-5 drone, designated K5-K, capable of reaching speeds up to 1000 km/h. This modified drone is shorter than the original, measuring 4 meters, with a wingspan of 3 meters. Its flight altitude has increased to 6 km, while maintaining a range of approximately 1000 km and carrying a 90 kg warhead. The introduction of this variant makes it harder for Ukrainian air defenses to intercept. Russian drone attacks primarily target critical infrastructure, leading to significant electricity shortages, especially in Kyiv, where power outages are frequent.
