Russia’s Geran-4 and Geran-5 jet-powered strike drones were presented to President Vladimir Putin during his visit to the Chebarkulsky training ground in the Chelyabinsk Region. The display included key specifications for both aircraft, including their speed, range and warhead weight.

The Geran-4 is powered by a jet engine and can reach speeds of up to 350 kilometers per hour. According to information presented at the exhibition, the drone carries a 50-kilogram warhead and has a flight range of 750 to 800 kilometers.

The larger Geran-5 has a different airframe measuring 6.5 meters in length. It is equipped with a jet engine producing 200 kilogram-force of thrust. The drone can accelerate to 450 kilometers per hour, carry a warhead weighing up to 90 kilograms and fly as far as 900 kilometers.

Both systems were part of an exhibition of weapons, military and special-purpose equipment inspected by Putin at Chebarkulsky. The display also featured interceptor drones and electronic warfare systems.

The president visited the training ground during the Center-2026 strategic command-and-staff exercise, which he also observed.

The maneuvers are being held from September 28 through October 3 and mark the final stage of the Russian Armed Forces’ training cycle this year.

Russia is represented by 4,600 personnel, while another 1,479 participants have arrived from foreign countries. That figure includes 634 servicemen from contingents of the Collective Rapid Reaction Forces of the CSTO member states.
