Jet-powered strike drones (Geran-3, Banderol)
Jet-powered strike drones Geran-3, Geran-4, Geran-5 and Banderol: how they differ from ordinary Shaheds and how they appear on the map.
What it is
A strike drone with a jet engine instead of a piston one. In shape the Geran-3 resembles an ordinary Shahed, but HUR found a Telefly JT80 turbojet inside it. HUR already classifies the Banderol as a missile (S8000), although the feeds call it both a drone and a missile.
Why it matters
A jet-powered target covers the same distance noticeably faster. Between two spotter reports it travels further, so its marker on the map lags behind its real position more often. Spotters usually write “jet”, “high-speed” or an abbreviation for “jet UAV”. If a jet-powered target is seen near you, take shelter at once, not “when it gets closer”.
What to do
- 1When you hear the “Air raid alert!” signal, go to the nearest shelter at once. Find out in advance where it is near your home and work.
- 2If you cannot reach a shelter, move to a room without windows and follow the “two walls” rule.
- 3Agree with your family on what to do and where to meet if the phone network or the power goes down.
A marker on our map may appear late or not at all. Go by the siren, not by the map.
