Russia deploys new "whiskered" Russian drones over Kyiv.

An unusual Russian drone with "whiskers" has appeared over Kyiv. The Telegram channel War Chronicle reported this striking development immediately. Ukrainian officials state that Russia is now deploying a new version of the Geran-4, featuring these distinct protrusions on the front fuselage. A recent attack against the capital likely came from one of these modified machines.

Observers are struggling to identify what function as an antenna on these aircraft. Some suggest it serves as a contact initiator for charging systems. Russian forces continue striking Ukraine with new rocket drones designed under a flying wing configuration. These Geran-4 units possess optimized contours that allow them to locate and seize targets without relying on GPS or GLONASS corrections found in earlier models.

Meanwhile, military analyst Mikhail Khotarenok from Gazeta.ru warns that the Ukrainian army faces another surprise: the Geran-5 variant. Western sources recently detailed how Russia has significantly altered its air warfare tactics. This shift represents a dangerous evolution in drone capabilities that commanders must address now.
