Russian Geran-5 drones evade Ukrainian air defences in large numbers
Original: geran-5
Overnight fighting in the war in Ukraine saw more than 15 percent of Russian-launched drones escape Ukrainian interception, according to Le Monde's live coverage. The figure is drawing attention to the growing effectiveness of the Geran-5, a Russian long-range attack drone, and to questions about whether Ukraine's air defences can keep pace with the evolving threat.
Why now: New reports that a significant share of Russian drones, including the newer Geran-5, were not intercepted are raising alarm about Ukraine's air defence capabilities.
