Russian Geran-4 strike in Zaporizhzhia

Bottom line

Ukrainian police channel posts video of a Russian Geran-4 turbojet kamikaze drone strike in Zaporizhzhia.

Why it matters

The presence of Geran-4 strikes indicates the continued deployment of newer, faster variants of the Shahed family in the south.

A Ukrainian police channel posted video footage of a Russian Geran-4 turbojet kamikaze drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia region. This confirms the operational use of the Geran-4 variant in active combat zones, distinct from the more commonly reported Geran-2.
