Footage of the first Geran-5 jet drone strike on a Ukrainian warehouse "Megabaza" in Kharkiv was just published. The facility was used as a drone storage by Ukrainian army.https://youtu.be/LyGXIC4cQ60Geran-5 is a Russian jet-powered drone (6m long, 850kg takeoff weight, 90kg warhead, 1000km range, 500-600 km/h speed). It uses (for possibly lowest cost) a Chinese Telefly turbojet, carbon-fiber/composite airframe, commercial electronics (Chinese chips, mesh modems), and unified Geran parts. Low cost (around $50k after scaling) comes from simple design, COTS components, Chinese engines, and high parts commonality with cheaper Shahed/Geran family. Already in serial production : 500/month. Part of broader goal for tens of thousands of long-range drones yearly.x15-x20 cheaper than cruise missiles like Kalibr or Flamingo. Designed for saturation attacks that need a lot of cheap mass.Significantly harder to intercept than slow piston Geran-2 (180 km/h). It reduces reaction time for Ukrainian mobile groups, FPV interceptors, and some SAMs, though still vulnerable to Patriots - but one PAC-3 MSE costs $2mln - x40 the price of Geran-5.
Nice try nato shill, nobody gives a crap about this skirmish. Larp more as Russian shill in a desperate attempt to justify your own existence, p2p advertising scum
>>538330497Nice.
>>538330549It's you again, where are you from? Are you unwell?
>>538330497Does this 'back-and-forth' attrition warfare really matter at this point for either side? They're losing too many people.
>>538330497Just send all the slavnigger hordes to the front immediately
>>538330785How are the SP polls? Under 15% with normalized weights, where sits the VP? Under 18% with normalized weights. What about the neos and greens? Under 5% with normalized weights. Keep on datapoisoning yourself marxist ;)
>>538330497>The facility was used as a drone storage by Ukrainian army.source?
>>538330497>around $50k after scalingFor comparison, this pic-rel Bolandas FlyEye drone costs $460k.https://tvn24.pl/tvn24-news-in-english/poland-boosts-drone-purchases-to-start-unmanned-aircraft-inspectorate-in-january-st8181678Russians shoot them down all the time in Ukraine using few hundred dollar worth FPV-interceptors xDhttps://youtu.be/5SZPo_l5HvEAll the power of NATO, oh wow
>>538330785>Are you unwell?Yeah he is>>538330497>The entire might of the russian bear can cause a fire in a warehouseimplessive. dont forget to make 3+ more threads about this today. dont forget to add "xD" so everyone recognizes you.
>>538332216This pic-rel thing Russians shoot down with $500-$1000 FPV interceptors costs $460.000. Thats not a joke, sadly xD
It' true:>Reaching speeds of up to 500 km/h, they can outpace Ukraine’s own interceptor drones.>Ukraine has been forced to expend its highly valued air defence missiles to neutralise and shoot down these jet-powered threats despite limited stockpiles. https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2026/07/02/russia-steps-up-use-of-jet-powered-drones-beyond-the-reach-of-ukrainian-interceptorsA lot of piggies are going to get roasted, kekPicrel, they are even mounting them on subsonic jets like the SU-25.
>>538330497all i see ids arma footage
>>538332723Picrel, AI made rendering
>>538332836>12 years into the war>Russian army is paying and hiring people to present AI pictures of their new wunderwaffle on an anonymous garloid tender forumfucking hell
>>538330497What blew up in Russia today?
>>538332441As of lately Bolanda realized that it cant rely on Western tech and components because it cant afford building 50 drones a year and each priced $500k (LMAO), so it became biggest regionsl hub for Chinese drone components. Bolanda bought $4bln worth Chinese parts to be able to produce drones in hundreds units instead of tens xDhttps://www.polskieradio.pl/395/7784/artykul/3639607,poland-becomes-key-hub-for-chinese-drone-parts-amid-ukraine-warBolanda is a NATO-flanker using Chinese-communist tech now. Beware xD
the flamingo has a 1150kg warhead. it uses the engine of an airplane.
>>538333832Test
>>538334042FP-5 is very expensive (+$1mln) due to limited AI-25TL turbofan engines. Its claimed 3,000 km range remains unconfirmed in combat - actual strikes were at far shorter distances xD. Two Flamingos hitting a Russian factory caused limited damage, consistent with much smaller explosive fill (surely not a full ton xD). High cost, low output, and modest real effect make it overhyped. How many Ukrainians make them a month? 5? 10? Or less? Meanwhile Russia produces 1200-2000 land attack cruise missiles a year (Kh-101 Kalibr, etc).
>>538334834If Bolanda spent these $100bln on Chinese drone components (and some underground shelters to store them) instead of Patriot, Abrams, Himars, Apache and other legacy systems that will get fucked after few months of intensive conflict anyway, it would be a "drone-superpower" like UPAdline today and it could be "winning" against Russia too : by hitting it with drones and getting retaliation on face without asking Amerimutts for permission xDSadly, Bolanda aint ruled by wise and independent individuals - all of them are actually agents of foreign influence xD
>>538333590More oil storage tanks around Moscow.
Give it to me straight, /pol/Will the US actually have the manufacturing capacity to pump out nearly enough drones in WW3 or are we already screwed?It seems like we have absolutely zero counters to China's ability to mass-manufacture billions of drones and deploy them in swarms. Ukraine and Russia have been going at it with drones for four years and the only counter they've come up with has been more drones.
>>538336077No country outside China can match its drone productions ultra-low cost and hyperscale. China controls 90% of the global market, driven by an unmatched ecosystem. Shenzhens vertical integration supplies motors, batteries, sensors and PCBs locally. Dark factories automate production (12 workers produce 2,000 drones daily), and 90% of components are available within 30 minutes. This 30+ year build-up amortizes costs massively, making Chinese drones several times cheaper than Western ones. The West cannot replicate this for decades. Deindustrialization destroyed supplier networks and skills. High energy, labor, regulations and engineer shortages block scaling. US-made equivalents cost 3x-20x more, and US production is negligible versus Chinas millions. China also controls 90% of rare earth refining. Reshoring requires huge capex and time. These structural barriers make hardware hyperscale at this cost Chinas unique, practically non-duplicable asset.The only way to outcompete this is by nuking China xD
>>538330497Holy shit, the roof is on fire!
So it's a copy of the V2 like the ukrainian flamingo.Are slavs just white cargo cult niggers ?
>>538332836If the entire war was AI rendered you'd still lose - that looks like fucking shit.
>>538336890>>538336928Thats literally why the West is destined to lose everything, because it is mostly inhabited by such subhumans like these two, or worse. And thats a good thing because the West is a parasite xD
>>538337032Hello moshe
>>538334834>>538335778kek Russian propiganda bot confirmed.
>>538337084Hello moshe
>>538337084You should go back to mother Russia then
>>538330497>x15-x20 cheaper than cruise missilesWhy?
>>538332723Based. THD must continue
>>538330497>It uses (for possibly lowest cost) a Chinese Telefly turbojetAlso because Russia lacks the technology to make efficient jet engines.
>>53833721290 kg warhead vs 1150 kg warhead.1000 km range vs 3000 km range.
>>538330497>Nazi germans designed this>the world is so retarded they can not beat any of the nazi german scientist and engineers
>>538337376Well that's not really the same thing then.
>>538330497>Cheap toy copters are now a pinnacle of modern warfareWhat the fuck happened?
>>538337229do you support russo monkey nigger militaristic imperialism all because some people have made it seem kinda reddit to support ukraine? or does it come from a belief that being subjugated by russia is better than the worst of western society? just curious where this desire to be dominated comes from
>>538336928V1, not V2V2 is what Russians call a "hypersonic weapon"
>>538337459I would say it's similar but smaller.Both sizes can be useful depending on target.Just silly to brag about "20X cheaper" when it's also 1/20th the capability.
>>538334042is this "flamingo" with us in the room right now?LMAO this shit was a scam from the start to finish.
>>538337536>What the fuck happened?Thats a new generation warfare that is going to grind and reset your legacy systems. Thats the smart mass bringing death and destruction to overinflated Western financial system. Go prepare your anus for a painful drone/bot penetration, "rich Westerner" xD
>>538336077the only reason america would enter ww3 is to liquidate its own population russian-style, so manufacturing capabilities are irrelevant
>>538330497>the new drone MegabaZed
>>538337713That's what I mean, but also why should missiles be so much more expensive? It doesn't seem like they should be.
>>538337812Eternal butthurt piss poor Russian
>>538337977I am neither Russian, nor poor. I am a genius noticing patterns and processes that such COVID-vaccinated livestock like you cant see xD
>>538336890There is a clear secondary explosion in the video.
>US and germany helping destroy jewkraine
>>538331090>losing too many peopleyou still haven't realized that's the whole point of this 'war'?
>>538337713The fact that weapons like this can be made at this price point is the game changer. Back in the day if you wanted a long range precision munition you needed a cruise missile or IRBM. Now you can just crank these out. 20 of these means 20 possible targets for the price of one cruise missile.
>>538337976Jet engines are very expensive.These things are essentially single use jet aircraft.Tomahawk is even more expensive but it also contains advanced electronics for very precise targeting regardless of GPS jamming.Although I find it weird they can't use cheap AI for that yet, seems like a perfect use-case for an image recognition model.
>>538338068You're retard that wastes time posting useless shit on 4chan
>>538338248Its because its using off the shelf parts, anything russia can smuggle into their country through china and its allies, that's why it can be so cheap. Russia eventually starts reverse engineering these parts and making their own versions, they pretty much backstabbed the Iranians who did all this work first reverse engineering shit.
>>538338255>I find it weird they can't use cheap AI for that yetAs an American I've taken solace in knowing that all of our military equipment is overpriced. It means we can actually produce a lot more of everything we use much faster and cheaper if we ever really needed to.
>>538338248Flamingo is roughly half the cost TomahawkWith similar range and warhead but less precision and relying on GPS which can be jammed.Given the much lower labor cost in Eastern Europe vs. USA I don't find that impressive or game changing.And this thing at 1/20th the cost for maybe 1/10 the warhead at 1/3rd the range doesn't sound like a game changer either.Still a very good capability to have (for range and ability to mitigate jamming and air defenses) but not as revolutionary as the truly cheap and surgically precise quadcopter drones.My verdict: no wunderwaffen.
>>538338255its an alibaba/temu jet engine you can look it up, iran uses the same shit.
So entire army group what participated in Konstantinovka siege and crushed hohols there consisted from 13-14k infantry men, at most.7 separate infantry regiments(3 battalions, each 3 companies, each company ~100-110 infantrymen) = ~7000 men, AT BEST, realistically it will be around six thousands total3 motorized brigades, same three batallions each, so ~2700 men, optimistically1 motorized division, 4 infantry regiments, so ~3600 men.
>>538332441This toy really costs almost 2 miliony kurwa złoty? Our military is bunch of post soviet alcoholic generals who think about nothing but self-gain so it wouldn't surprise me at all.
>>538338799>you can look it upI can't because they banned the sale in my country LOL.But according to some article they are between $30K and $35K, which seems reasonable.Not crazy expensive but still a significant cost compared to using a glide bomb for example.
>>538338960Impressive
>>538336766Starlink and air superiority will save us.
>>538336766This is true but you forgot to mention the silver lining: for several decades the rich elites in the West enjoyed slightly higher profits by circumventing their local populace and exporting their factories to China. When you don't respect the extra wealth that those few people received, that's antisemitism. You should apologize.
>>538338606Too bad all the Flamingos are made in the UK
>>538331090nobody stopped and told each other stop during ww1 why would they say this time?
>>538338606Quadcopter drones aren’t really “revolutionary,” at least not in the context of this conflict. With or without them it would still be a trench war at the front line. Long range disposable strategic precision weapons open up so many new possibilities for how to wage war, all short range Quadcopter drones do is make the already mostly static front lines a little bit more static.
>>538334874it costs 500k.which is cheaper then 13 vatnik g5s. >>538337758your can watch the clips of them bombing vatnik factories the other day
>>538331090Well, one side has lost half it's pre-war population and the other has added 7 million so I don't quote think it's as even-handed as you are trying to imply
>>538337570All Russians i encounter in Internet are cultured, intelligent and usually have a sense of humor. I cant say the same even about 1% of retarded Westoid flags on /pol/.
>>538334042It's also vapourware
>>538343056Zhill can even keep his posting consistent to his vpn.I suppose we will find out you will me useful as a mobik in a few months.
>>538343073Good informative post.
