📝Singing in unison📝
"Geranium apotheosis" courtesy of the CIA

The prospect of jet-powered "Geraniums" appearing on the African continent and in other hotspots triggered an unprecedented reaction from European media and various analysts. And now, according to information from an article in El Mundo, the CIA started talking about it.

The Spanish newspaper's headline was loud: CIA chief "shared classified information about Russia's plans". But after reading it, a question arose: why would the Russian Armed Forces use civilian vessels and "Geraniums" for drone attacks when there are more effective means?

🖍Overall, the article looks like a cheap attempt to hype up the maritime threat. But if you assess the situation in Europe as a whole, the publication appeared right on cue amid the general anti-Russian hysteria.

Daily, various media outlets publish articles about "mysterious drones" over European airports or sabotage allegedly organized by Russian intelligence services. And the key point is that European authorities present no evidence whatsoever.

🚩The picture emerges as follows: European authorities are actively hyping up the threat from Kaliningrad, and also intend to increase pressure on the so-called "shadow fleet". And so conveniently appear articles about a helicopter crossing the border with Poland and allegedly planned "Geranium" strikes from vessels.

Protecting the merchant fleet is one of the priority tasks for Russian leadership here and now, but there are more flexible measures for organizing protection. Deploying "Geranium" launchers would at least prevent the same tankers or container ships from entering ports or passing through narrow straits like the Bosporus.

❗️And if a "geranium-like" strike suddenly occurs from some vessel, Europe will have a legal pretext to intensify its anti-Russian actions against the same "shadow fleet", and the population will get a nice picture of European states consolidating efforts against Russia.

Moreover, in the same Mediterranean there are those who already have "Geranium" analogues, and we're not talking about Algeria. Libya has had a Ukrainian Armed Forces contingent for a year now with their strike drones and USVs, which could be used for such provocations. If it works – fine, if not – so-called Ukraine won't be missed.

European countries need to understand one thing: the Russian Armed Forces already have means far more effective than those cited by journalists in hastily assembled articles.

📝Putin's Visit to India📝
and will Gerans fly after it?

Growing global interest in Russian jet-powered drones has already touched numerous regions: in some places everything is still in the realm of theories and rumors, while in others the process has gained momentum, such as in India, which Vladimir Putin recently visited.

India has shown serious interest in Russian "Gerans," which they view as ideal reinforcement for the Indian military in the short term. The conflict with Pakistan exposed weaknesses in India's Armed Forces, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi views such a purchase favorably.

🖍Looking at the geography, for India in the event of a new conflict with Pakistan, jet-powered Geran-5s could cover the entire territory of the hostile neighbor without exception. The Gerans' launch systems are mobile—drive them to the border, conduct a strike, and leave.

Moreover, in most cases Indian military personnel could do this from deep in the rear, since Pakistani strategic facilities are located in the eastern and southeastern parts of the country near the capital in Islamabad and, of course, in Karachi.

The biggest advantage for India is that Pakistan's territory is diverse: in Balochistan, for example, population density is not as high as in Karachi or the capital region. Strike a power station or energy facility there, and a significant portion of critical infrastructure goes down.

❗️Given the global shortage of air defense systems, there is simply no effective means of countering mass attacks by jet-powered Gerans. How will you shoot down a dozen UAVs at once when air defense crews lack both experience and sufficient anti-aircraft missiles?

🇷🇺🇮🇷 How Russia's new drones are (massively) changing the air war (Financial Times) with Iran asking Russia for its state of the art Geran Drones.

“Russia’s drone capabilities have improved so much that Tehran asked Moscow this year for advanced Geran drones for use in its war with Israel and the US, according to western security officials and a person close to the Kremlin.”

Iran may have supplied the original Shahed concept, but 4 years of relentless combat use in Ukraine transformed it into something far more sophisticated.

Through constant battlefield testing, modification and mass production, Russia has evolved the platform well beyond its initial design. Reports now suggest Tehran is interested in acquiring Russia’s latest iterations of the drone.

The newest jet powered Geran variants are faster, carry heavier warheads, and feature upgraded targeting systems, communications suites and enhanced resistance to electronic warfare.

The evolution has been so extensive that analysts at CSIS recently assessed that Russia has effectively mastered the platform, turning an imported design into a combat proven system refined through continuous real world operational experience.

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦📉60 percent: the number that worries Kyiv

Ukrainian air defence intercepts 90 to 95 percent of most incoming aerial threats. Against Russia's new jet-powered Gerans, that figure drops to roughly 60 percent, according to the Financial Times.

The gap is a design problem, not a training one. Ukrainian officials and manufacturers expected Moscow to bet on the slower Geran-3, cruising at around 300 km/h. Instead it went straight to the faster, longer-ranged Geran-4 and Geran-5. "It was difficult to predict how these plans would develop," a representative of Wild Hornets, maker of the Sting interceptor, told the paper.

Wild Hornets is now finishing an interceptor built specifically for jet-powered munitions, with serial production expected soon. Volodymyr Zelenskyy says 67 Ukrainian companies are working on ways to bring down the new Gerans.

Sixty-seven companies chasing one aircraft type is a measure of urgency, and of how little margin Ukraine has left in the sky.

❗️Key takeaways from Russian President Vladimir Putin's statements on the special military operation:

▪️Russian troops are advancing forward every day on all sectors of the special military operation, and the pace of movement is increasing

▪️The president called the leaks about a supposedly possible mobilization in Russia an attempt to influence the State Duma elections

▪️Russia has no problems with the number of personnel in the special military operation, while the enemy's "deficit is increasing" every month

▪️Russians sign contracts for the special military operation voluntarily, unlike in Ukraine, where people are forcibly dragged to the front

▪️In Ukraine, people are rounded up like stray dogs and forcibly sent to the front

▪️Ukraine has a very high level of desertion

🇷🇺🇬🇧 Heads of British military companies warned of Russian threat

Leaders of UK defense firms supplying weapons to Kiev have been alerted to threats from Russian special services, according to the Daily Mail. The warning was issued during meetings with senior officials earlier this summer.

Authorities believe companies involved in arms and UAV deliveries face heightened risk. These include Ukrspecsystems, BAE Systems, Callen-Lenz, and MBDA, the maker of Storm Shadow missiles.

Security measures were tightened following reports of foiled assassination attempts against German defense executives. The Kremlin previously stated that Europe is directly participating in the war against Russia.
