Geranium jets are just the beginning. How the Russians are switching to small missiles and what is being done about it Ukraine has not had time to adapt to Russian jet UAVs, as the Russians are increasing the production of another weapon - small cruise missiles. Outwardly, they resemble smaller versions of cruise missiles. They have the same components and warheads inside as long-range UAVs. UAVs are becoming more and more like missiles, and missiles are becoming more and more like UAVs, so it's quite difficult to draw a clear line between the two. However, this new stage in the development of long-range enemy weapons poses a much greater threat due to their main advantage - greater speed. According to Oboronka's calculations, based on various publicly announced data, next year the Russians plan to produce tens of thousands of small cruise missiles that can fly at a speed of more than 600 km/h. In addition to them, the Russians are going to produce more missiles. The Ukrainian air defense is still learning to deal with jet UAVs. And although its efficiency is increasing and reached 66% last month, Ukraine needs to urgently prepare for a new threat in order not to repeat the mistakes made during the "sudden" influx of jet UAVs. "Oboronka" tells what danger small Russian cruise missiles pose and what Ukraine can do about it.
