~ 60 > tells < strong ~ 24 channel with reference to Defense Express. Russia establishes the production of the General-3 renegade drone, which is an analogue of Iranian Shahed-238.

~ 60 > it is equipped with a TolU-10/13 turbojet engine, which allows him develop speeds up to 600 kilometers per hour and hit targets at a distance to 2 500 kilometers.

~ 60 > however, as the analysis of defense express shown, Russia still depends on the supply of critical components from Iran. < p < p > The main problem of combating such drones is their high speed, which makes them inaccessible For mobile fire groups and helicopters used to knock down enemy UAVs. However, the Ukrainian air defense forces have effective counteraction tools:

~ 60 > threat from “geranium-3” is real, but Ukraine has a counteract. Modern air defense systems will allow you to effectively destroy these drones on the approach to targets, reducing their combat efficiency.

~ 60 > at the same time the scale of this weapons is important – if the Russian military -industrial complex cannot to establish serial production, “Gerani-3” will not be a significant problem for Ukrainian Defense.
