The Ukrainian investigative outlet Skhemy gained access to a surviving Geran-4 Seeker — the jet-powered modification in the Shahed/Geran family — and published a ten-minute report on what sets it apart from the earlier piston-engine Geran-2. The team examined the specific features driving the system’s greater speed, improved maneuverability and enhanced accuracy, and what those characteristics mean for Ukrainian air-defence operators attempting to intercept it.
