Russian Geran-6 drone development reported for 2027

Bottom line

Satellite imagery indicates the Millerovo drone port is nearing completion, featuring 8 launch pads and 32 prep spots for Geran-5 kamikaze drones, signaling a significant expansion in Russian strike capacity.

Why it matters

The Millerovo facility's proximity to the Ukrainian border and its specialized Geran-5 configuration indicate a shift toward higher-capacity, rapid-deployment drone strikes, requiring NATO air defense planners to account for increased sortie rates from this specific hub.

Satellite imagery analysis confirms that the Russian drone port near Millerovo is in the final stages of construction. The facility includes eight dedicated launch pads and 32 preparation spots specifically configured for Geran-5 kamikaze drones, with active unloading operations already underway. This infrastructure supports the reported development of the Geran-5 variant and suggests an intent to rapidly scale long-range drone operations in the region.
