"Russian troops have targeted four railroad locomotives in Dnipropetrovsk region with Geran-4 seeker drones. Two strikes were conducted against railway locomotives at stations near Pavlo and Selnikovo. Both targets were successfully hit as a result of these surgical strikes. Geran-4 seeker drones were employed to attack truck parking lots in Kharkov and Pavlograd. As a result, up to 10 vehicles were destroyed across the two locations."
Russia's Defense Ministry released footage showing precision strikes by a new family of jet-powered Geran-4 drones against Ukrainian railway locomotives and logistics vehicles. The speaker notes the exceptional quality of drone footage suggests these drones may be operating via Russia's newly deployed Raswet satellite system, analogous to Starlink, allowing ground controllers in Moscow to guide drones deep inside Ukraine with optical sensors. This represents a revolutionary capability enabling Russia to conduct comprehensive interdiction campaigns against Ukrainian logistics without risking manned aircraft or pilots, potentially choking off Ukraine's supply lines.
