Russia's Copycat Drones: A Lethal Threat to Ukraine
Russia has reportedly developed its own version of Iranian attack drones, known as Geran-2, and has been using them against Ukraine. The drones, similar to the Iranian Shahed-136, have been adapted to better suit Russian needs and are made with different materials. The Russian-made drones allow Russia to sustain its attack patterns and reliance on one-way drones. The findings raise questions about export control and counter-diversion measures, as Russia continues to find ways to acquire military supplies despite Western sanctions.
