Russia has begun launching a new version of the Gerbera UAV in Ukraine - it can fly up to 1,200 km and carry a warhead of up to 25 kg. The How notes that the Russians initially used the Gerbers primarily as cheap decoys to overload Ukrainian air defenses. Now the UAV has been significantly modernized: it received more complex navigation, modems and cameras to detect interceptors. Gerbera-2 has a wingspan of three meters, it can stay in the air for up to 10 hours and accelerate to 200 km/h. The sample investigated by the IACH had a 10-kilogram warhead and additional bags of incendiary mixture. Although the Russians claim that Gerbera-2 can carry up to 25 kg of explosives. In addition, the Gerbera-2's increased range allows Russia to use it not only against Ukraine. According to Ukrainian intelligence, in September this exact drone with an explosive warhead was found on the Baltic coast of Poland.
