Geran
From Conservapedia
The Russian built Geran kamikaze drones on the Iranian design were reportedly used for the first time in Ukraine.[1] 1/3 of the Polish-supplied T-72 were destroyed in the first week of counteroffensive.
The Geran drones, which are used for diversion and reconnaissance, by 2025 were equipped with jet engines and are said to reach speeds of 370 km/h, perhaps even up to 600 km/h. Based on the reported production rate by the Ukrainian Military Intelligence (GUR), Russians can deploy 150 to 200 drones per day.[2]
The U.S. began cloning it own version of the Iranian design in 2025.[3]
Russian Geran factory.[4]
