🚨🇮🇷🇷🇺 Iran has asked Russia to supply jet-powered Geran-4 and Geran-5 attack drones for use in the war against Israel and the United States, according to the Financial Times. The newer Geran variants can reportedly reach speeds of roughly 450–500 km/h and have significantly changed the character of Russian... long-range drone strikes against Ukraine in recent months. That performance appears to have caught Tehran’s attention. The irony is hard to miss: the Geran family itself grew out of the Shahed-136 technology Iran originally transferred to Russia back in 2022. 🔥 If the request leads to deliveries, it would mark a striking reversal in the military relationship between the two countries. Iran was once the supplier of the core drone technology; now Russia may be in a position to return a more advanced, combat-evolved version of that system to Tehran.show more

Funny, why isn't Trump telling his great buddy Putin to knock this S**t off???

Ukraine should bomb Russian ports on the Caspian sea; converseli USA should bomb Irania ports on the Caspian sea.

The procurement loop comes full circle when a low-cost origin point evolves into a high-speed cruise missile alternative and the original exporter comes calling for the upgrade. It underscores how fast threat profiles iterate once jet propulsion and terminal EO/IR enter the mix.

Iran may now want back a weapon that Russia developed from Iranian technology. Reports say Tehran has asked Russia for Geran-4 and Geran-5 kamikaze drones, reportedly to use against Israel and the United States. The Geran family traces its origins to Iran’s Shahed-136, which Iran began supplying to Russia in 2022. Russia then modified the design extensively during the Ukraine war, including changes to guidance, electronics and propulsion, with jet-powered variants reportedly offering improved performance. If the reports are accurate, Iran isn't simply buying drones—it could be gaining access to Russian battlefield experience and upgrades developed under combat conditions. The irony is striking: Iran gave Russia the original Shahed, Russia evolved it in Ukraine, and now Iran may want the upgraded Geran back. #iran #russia #shahed #geran #drone #drones

BIG | 🇮🇷🇷🇺🇺🇸🇮🇱‼️‼️ Iran has reportedly turned to Russia for its newest generation of Geran attack drones, completing a remarkable reversal in a military partnership that originally began with Tehran supplying Shahed technology to Moscow for its war against Ukraine. According to the Financial Times, Iran asked Russia this year for advanced Geran drones for use in its ongoing conflict with Israel and the United States. Russia originally developed the Geran family from the Iranian-designed Shahed platform, but years of mass production and battlefield use against Ukraine have allowed Moscow to substantially modify and expand the system into newer variants. The reversal shows how the Russia-Iran military relationship has evolved from a largely one-way transfer of Iranian drone technology into a feedback loop benefiting both states. Ukraine became the testing ground where Moscow refined Iranian-origin systems under real combat conditions, and Tehran is now seeking access to the resulting Russian improvements for its own war. That deepening exchange creates another strategic challenge for Washington and its allies, as technologies developed and refined in one conflict can increasingly migrate into another.

‼️ There is a possibility that Russia may be sending Shahed-type drones (Russian name: Geran) to Iran. Iran has already shown interest in Russia's modified versions, such as Geran-3 and Geran-5, which are essentially inexpensive cruise missiles with improved speed (up to 600 km/h) and anti-jamming capabilities. The factory in the Alabuga Special Economic Zone currently produces more than 500 drones per month and is constantly expanding. Experts note that the scale of production in Alabuga allows Moscow to export updated and "battle-tested" versions of the drones back to Iran. ‼️ Destroying the Russian factory that makes Shahed/Geran drones would be the right strategic decision.

🚨🇺🇦🇷🇺 Ukraine is intercepting only about 60% of Russia’s new jet-powered Geran-4 and Geran-5 attack drones, compared with roughly 95% of the slower piston-powered Geran-2s, according to the Financial Times. The newer models are fast enough to blur the line between kamikaze drones and low-cost cruise missiles. Geran-4s can reportedly reach around 450–500 km/h with a 50 kg warhead and a range of roughly 600–700 km, while the larger Geran-5 can approach 550–600 km/h, carry around 90 kg and fly close to 1,000 km. The new drones also use electro-optical and thermal targeting, allowing them to identify specific targets during the terminal phase instead of relying only on pre-programmed coordinates. Unconfirmed reports suggest the latest versions may also process imagery onboard with AI-based algorithms, potentially helping them navigate and attack even under heavy GPS/GLONASS jamming. Geran-5 can reportedly be launched not only from ground systems but also from Su-25 aircraft. 🔥 The speed increase is the real headache for Ukraine. These drones are much harder for mobile air-defense teams and conventional interceptor drones to catch, forcing Kyiv to rely more heavily on fighter aircraft and other expensive defenses. Ukrainian companies are already developing specialized jet-powered interceptor drones in response. Russia’s production has apparently expanded so far that even Iran has asked Moscow for jet-powered Gerans for its own needs, a remarkable reversal from the early phase of the war when Russia was the side importing Shahed technology.

🇷🇺 RUSSIA JUST CHANGED THE DRONE GAME Russia is reportedly rolling out new jet powered Geran drones after older piston powered variants struggled against interceptor drones. The new Gerans can reportedly reach around 600 km/h, making them much harder for slower interceptor drones to catch. Reports claim Russia is now producing around 3,000 Geran 4/5 drones per month, with much of the supply chain increasingly localized. Meanwhile, the U.S. is also rapidly expanding small attack drone production, but the current scale remains in a different league. The drone production race is accelerating fast.

Russia has officially revealed footage of its new jet-powered kamikaze drone — the Geran 5 — during the Victory Day Parade virtual segment. Unlike traditional propeller-driven systems, the Geran 5 is reportedly designed for higher speed, longer range, and deep strike missions. Reports also suggest the drone may use mesh-network communication technology, allowing drones to stay connected even under electronic warfare or jamming conditions. Could drone swarms eventually become more important than fighter jets in future wars? #russia #russiadrone #Putin #drone #iran #iranwar

A very interesting turn of events in the air war. Russian Geran jet drones have dramatically increased their speed, rendering previous interception systems ineffective. Former CEO of Google, Eric Schmidt and the Ukrainian military are now openly admitting that there is no ready-made solution to reliably close off Ukraine’s airspace. NATO’s air defence systems in Ukraine are operating continuously but are unable to cope with Russia’s new jet-powered drones. Kyiv’s allies are speaking ever more loudly about the catastrophic state of affairs. NATO simply has no defence against the Geran and that is by no means the only problem Kyiv is facing. #russia #ukraine #drone #drones #kyiv #geran

Footage of joint Russian-Iranian drills just two weeks ago, February 19, 2026. When Iran turned to Putin for help, it was refused, even though Russia called Iran an important ally and signed a strategic partnership agreement with it a year ago. Russia used Iran as a tool to put pressure on the West and destabilize the region: ◾️ Iran supplied Russia with thousands of Shahed-136 attack drones and technology for their production on Russian territory under the name "Geran-2." ◾️ Iran supplied Russia with short-range ballistic missiles. The total value of contracts for the supply of missiles and drones at the beginning of 2023 was estimated at $1.75-3 billion. ◾️ In return, Russia supplied its own weapons to Iran, including air defense systems and aircraft, which, as we can see, did not help Tehran. ◾️ Russia helped Iran develop its nuclear program to increase instability in the region and strengthen the "anti-Western coalition." ◾️ Using its influence, Russia maintained its military bases in Syria and shared military expenses with Tehran. ◾️ Iran, which has been under sanctions for decades, helped Russia circumvent sanctions: the development of the North-South Transport Corridor through Iran allowed Russia to export goods bypassing European ports. ◾️ Iran helped Russia master methods of covert financial transactions and parallel imports. Russia's main objective now is destabilization in the region, prolonging the war, driving up oil prices, and diverting financial and military aid away from Ukraine. ‼️ It is likely that Russians helped Iran develop a plan for strikes against the Persian Gulf countries. It is only natural that Ukrainians are now being asked for help in defending against Iranian drones. Ukraine has unique experience in countering Shahed drones. And Ukraine knows very well what Russia is like, what methods it uses, and what its goals are. What finally needs to be understood about Russia is that it has never been a reliable partner! Its partnership is rhetorical. Russia pursues exclusively its own interests, setting up, deceiving, and abandoning its so-called allies and violating the terms of agreements and deals. Syria, Venezuela, and Iran are vivid examples of this. 📹: Russia-Iran drills/Radio Liberty

Russia is supplying Iran with strike drones for its war against the United States, the Financial Times reports, citing Western intelligence. According to the report, Moscow and Tehran agreed on deliveries at the beginning of the conflict. I wrote about this at the very start of the war in Iran. It is quite likely that drone deliveries have been or are being carried out under the guise of "humanitarian convoys" from Tajikistan to Iran. According to official reports, this "humanitarian aid" amounted to 3,610 tonnes of cargo, delivered by a convoy of 110 trucks. Tajikistan may be used as part of a logistical chain for supplying dual-use goods or military assistance, including from Russia. In addition, Tajikistan and Iran maintain established defense ties, including the known operation of facilities in Tajikistan producing Iranian drones. This is the same scheme Russia used starting in 2014 at the beginning of the war in Ukraine, when it still sought to conceal its goals. Moscow used so-called "humanitarian convoys" to deliver military cargo to occupied Ukrainian territories.

🚨🇷🇺🇮🇷 PENTAGON IN PANIC: U.S. BASES FACE RUSSIA’S UPGRADED SHAHED ATTACK DRONES U.S. bases across the Middle East face a more dangerous Shahed threat as reports indicate that Russia is returning battlefield-tested upgrades to the Iranian design. AP reported in March that upgraded Russian-built drones were being sent to Tehran, while Reuters later said Western analysts were examining whether Russian technology helped Iranian drones strike CIA facilities in Riyadh and eastern Iraq. 🔸 Iran originally supplied Russia with the Shahed-136 design. Russia then established mass production of its Geran-2 derivative and refined it through years of large-scale combat use. 🔸 Russian development work has produced Shahed variants with improved satellite navigation, stronger protection against jamming, new radio links, cameras and upgraded flight computers. Other versions have appeared with jet engines and onboard AI, although AP’s sources did not identify which variants were reportedly sent to Iran. 🔸 Reuters cited two Western officials who believed Russian-enhanced Shaheds were used in the attack on the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh. One drone reportedly opened a hole in the building before a second passed through it and detonated near the CIA station. No casualties were reported. 🔸 Western intelligence sources also claim Russia supplied Iran with the Kometa-M satellite-navigation module, designed to maintain greater accuracy under electronic attack. The Kremlin dismissed the report as “fake news.” 🔸 Faster and harder-to-jam drones create an expensive problem for defenders. Low-cost Shaheds can arrive in waves, forcing U.S. forces to consume limited stocks of missiles that cost far more than the targets they destroy. 🔸 AP’s sources could not confirm the number or exact type of drones involved. But access to Russian navigation, communications and anti-jamming upgrades could matter more than the size of a single shipment. Iran supplied the original design. Russia mass-produced it, improved it under years of battlefield pressure and may now be returning those lessons to Tehran. For U.S. bases, the danger is not one drone but repeated salvos that are harder to jam, faster to adapt and far cheaper than the missiles used to stop them. Do you think upgraded Shaheds could change the balance in the U.S.-Iran conflict?

BIG | 🇺🇦🇷🇺‼️‼️ Ukraine is facing a rapidly worsening air-defense challenge ahead of winter, as Russia floods the country with faster jet-powered attack drones designed to overwhelm existing interception systems. According to The Washington Post, Russia is now using large numbers of Geran-4 and Geran-5 jet-powered drones, which can fly at speeds of up to around 500 km/h, roughly 2.5 times faster than older models. Ukrainian officials say Moscow launched more than 2,800 such drones in August alone and may have the capacity to produce tens of thousands annually. The scale and speed of the attacks are forcing Ukraine to stretch air-defense assets, and in some cases even scramble combat aircraft to intercept the drones, while Kyiv and other cities endure repeated multi-hour alerts. The danger is not just the number of drones, but the economics of saturation. Russia is trying to force Ukraine to spend scarce interceptors, aircraft hours and radar capacity against relatively cheap targets while preserving its more valuable missiles for follow-on strikes. If this production tempo continues into winter, Kyiv will need far more layered short-range air defense, electronic warfare and cheaper interceptors to prevent Russia from turning sheer volume into a strategic advantage.
