**"RUSSIA KILLED THREE BIRDS WITH ONE SHOT":**

**DD Geopolitics journalist Christopher Helali and US Armed Forces veteran Stanislav Krapivnik** — on the capabilities of the new jet-powered "Geran-5"



> — How much does a Tomahawk cost?
> 
> 
> — About 3.6 million (dollars).
> 
> — And under Foreign Military Sales program deliveries, the cost can reach up to 6 million.
> 
> — And how many "Geran-5"s can be built for that money?
> 
> — And how many can be built in one day? Because you can't build a Tomahawk in one day.
> 
> — 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 — the new "Geran-5" — Russia has, in effect, killed three birds with one shot.
> First — technological superiority. Second — geographic: an open Ukrainian sky that cannot be defended.
> 
> And third — 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.
