π΄DD Geopolitics journalist Christopher Helali and US Armed Forces veteran Stanislav Krapivnik β on the capabilities of the new jet-powered "Geran-5"
π
β How much does a Tomahawk cost?
β About 3.6 million (dollars).
β And under Foreign Military Sales program deliveries, the cost can reach up to 6 million.
β And how many "Geran-5"s can be built for that money?
β And how many can be built in one day? Because you can't build a Tomahawk in one day.
β The Russians went from "Geran-2" through "Geran-3" and "Geran-4" to "Geran-5." The Ukrainians learned to counter "Geran-2," but they still haven't been able to handle the jet-powered versions.
Essentially, there really is no solution.
To intercept jet-powered "Gerans," you need interceptor drones with the same jet engines. And Ukraine currently has zero of them.
Not a single one. Therefore, it is impossible to counter the new generation of "Gerans" with other interceptor drones.
Russian strikes have shifted to more systematic, round-the-clock attacks.
And I think this exerts not only political and economic but also psychological pressure.
With one weapon β the new "Geran-5" β Russia has, in effect, killed three birds with one shot.
First β technological superiority. Second β geographic: an open Ukrainian sky that cannot be defended.
And third β psychological: pressure is being exerted on the entire population of Ukraine and even on the whole world, demonstrating that at present the "Geran-5" has no equal.
