Geran-4 loitering munitions use EO seekers for precision logistics strikes

Bottom line

Footage confirms Russian Geran-4 loitering munitions equipped with electro-optical (EO) seekers are being used for precision strikes on logistics hubs, such as the Fire Point center near Kyiv.

Why it matters

NATO and Ukrainian logistics hubs are increasingly vulnerable to precision-guided loitering munitions, requiring enhanced hardening or active counter-drone defenses at fixed supply nodes.

Visual evidence from Intel Slava shows Geran-4 drones utilizing EO guidance systems to strike the Fire Point logistics center near Vyshneve, Kyiv Oblast. This indicates an operational shift from area-denial or unguided strikes to precision targeting of specific military infrastructure. The use of EO seekers allows for better target discrimination in complex environments compared to earlier variants.
