Russian Geran-4 strikes target Ukrainian air defense sites

Bottom line

Russian Geran-4 drones struck S-300PU radar and launcher sites in Odessa, Mykolaiv, and Kyiv regions, targeting air defense infrastructure.

Why it matters

Dedicated strikes on air defense radars and launchers by long-range drones like the Geran-4 highlight the evolving role of these systems in SEAD/DEAD operations, forcing Ukrainian air defense units to relocate or operate with reduced situational awareness.

Reports indicate that Russian Geran-4 and Geran-5 drones conducted strikes on S-300PU radar and launcher sites across the Odessa, Mykolaiv, and Kyiv regions. These attacks are part of a broader Russian effort to degrade Ukrainian air defense capabilities and protect their own drone corridors by targeting ground-based detection and engagement assets.
