Russian Geran drones use super-protected Comet antennas

Bottom line

OSINT reports confirm a new rapid-deploy Geran-5 droneport at Millerovo, Russia, featuring 8 launch sites and 32 prep areas built since September 1.

Why it matters

The Millerovo droneport extends the operational range and sortie rate of Russian Geran-5 drones, increasing the threat to Ukrainian rear-area logistics and civilian infrastructure.

Ukrainian OSINT sources report the construction of a new Geran-5 droneport at Millerovo, Russia, equipped with 8 launch sites and 32 preparation areas. This infrastructure supports the deployment of advanced Geran variants, including strikes on civilian infrastructure such as a supermarket in the Odesa region. The facility aligns with broader Russian efforts to expand droneport capacity near the border to sustain high-volume strikes on Ukrainian logistics and energy targets.

    Противник сообщает, что на российских "Геранях" появились новые "сверхзащищенные" антенны с 32 элементами. Царь-антенна "Комета" в такой конфигурации не глушится ничем. До этого ВС РФ использовали "Кометы" с 8 или 16 элементами.
