🔴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.
