The upgraded drone is capable of reaching a cruising speed of over 450 km\/h, and up to 1,000 km\/h during certain manoeuvres. Experts from the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence examined one of the prototypes, identified 93 electronic components within it \u2013 including those manufactured in the US, China and Switzerland \u2013 and determined the specific features of its navigation system and warhead.<\/p>\n<div class=\"news-summary-box\"><strong>Briefly about the main points<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Main Intelligence Directorate has investigated a new variant of the Russian \u00abGerani-5\u00bb, designated K5-K.<\/li>\n<li>The craft\u2019s maximum speed during certain manoeuvres can reach 1,000 km\/h.<\/li>\n<li>The range is 1,000 km, and the warhead weighs 90 kg.<\/li>\n<li>A total of 93 electronic components were found in the sample, including 52 manufactured in the US.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>The new \u00abGeran-5\u00bb is more compact and faster<\/h2>\n<p>According to Ukrainian intelligence, Russian troops have begun using a modified version of <strong>K5-K<\/strong> in early autumn 2026. One of the devices deployed landed in a Ukrainian field almost unscathed, enabling experts to examine its design and electronic equipment in detail.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike the basic \u00ab<a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/science-tech\/geran-5-80-metrova-puskova-ustanovka-rf\/\">Gerani-5<\/a>\u00bb, the new version has a shorter fuselage and a slightly smaller wingspan. It is four metres long instead of 6.5 metres, and its wingspan has been reduced from 3.2 to three metres.<\/p>\n<p>Russian designers have also modified the fuselage\u2019s aerodynamics in an attempt to improve its speed and altitude performance. Its cruising speed exceeds 450 km\/h, whilst its maximum speed during certain manoeuvres, according to the Main Intelligence Directorate, can reach 1,000 km\/h. Its service ceiling has increased to six kilometres.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, the operational range remained at 1,000 kilometres, whilst the warhead weighs 90 kilograms. In the sample examined, reconnaissance specialists identified a TBBCH-90 thermobaric warhead.<\/p>\n<h2>Russia has introduced a new navigation system called \u00abSusannin\u00bb<\/h2>\n<p>One of the distinctive features of the K5-K is the \u00ab\u2019 optoelectronic correlation system\u00ab<a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/suspilstvo\/svitlomaskuvannya-ukraina-drony-susanin\/\">Susannin<\/a>\u00bb, which Ukrainian intelligence had previously identified in other variants of Russian jet-powered drones.<\/p>\n<p>The system compares images from the on-board camera with reference data stored in the microcomputer\u2019s memory. This principle enables the route to be monitored using visual landmarks and complements other navigation aids.<\/p>\n<p>In the version under investigation, a dual-range camera is used in place of conventional optical sensors. Image processing is carried out by a Chinese-made Coke Pi microcomputer.<\/p>\n<p>The other avionics are largely similar to those found on the latest versions of the \u00abGeran-4 Seeker\u00bb. Specifically, these include the flight controller, the SADRA Seeker inertial navigation system, a jam-resistant antenna and data transmission equipment.<\/p>\n<p>The K5-K\u2019s powerplant is the TRD-200 turbojet engine, which is assembled in Alabuga, Russia, using Chinese components.<\/p>\n<h2>52 components from the US were found in a Russian missile<\/h2>\n<p>Experts from the Main Intelligence Directorate paid particular attention to the origin of the electronic components. In total, 93 components were identified in the sample examined, the majority of which were of American origin.<\/p>\n<p>According to intelligence reports, <strong>52 components are linked to US manufacturers<\/strong>. China and Switzerland each account for a further ten. The products identified include electronics from Texas Instruments, Murata and other international manufacturers.<\/p>\n<p>The Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) has also documented attempts to conceal the markings on certain components, in particular digital signal processors and inertial modules. The intelligence agency links these actions to efforts to circumvent international sanctions on the supply of electronics.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, the origin of the components does not in itself mean that their manufacturers supplied their products directly to the Russian military-industrial complex. To identify the specific supply channels, it is necessary to investigate the networks of intermediaries and suppliers.<\/p>\n<p>The War&amp;Sanctions portal has published an interactive model of the K5-K, a list of the equipment identified and information about its manufacturers. The data is used to document the foreign component base of Russian weaponry.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0420\u043e\u0441\u0456\u044f \u043f\u043e\u0447\u0430\u043b\u0430 \u0437\u0430\u0441\u0442\u043e\u0441\u043e\u0432\u0443\u0432\u0430\u0442\u0438 \u043f\u0440\u043e\u0442\u0438 \u0423\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0457\u043d\u0438 \u043d\u043e\u0432\u0443 \u043c\u043e\u0434\u0438\u0444\u0456\u043a\u0430\u0446\u0456\u044e \u0443\u0434\u0430\u0440\u043d\u043e\u0433\u043e \u0431\u0435\u0437\u043f\u0456\u043b\u043e\u0442\u043d\u0438\u043a\u0430 \u00ab\u0413\u0435\u0440\u0430\u043d\u044c-5\u00bb \u043f\u0456\u0434 \u043d\u0430\u0437\u0432\u043e\u044e \u041a5-\u041a, \u044f\u043a\u0430 \u0437\u0430 \u0441\u0432\u043e\u0457\u043c\u0438 \u0445\u0430\u0440\u0430\u043a\u0442\u0435\u0440\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0438\u043a\u0430\u043c\u0438 \u043d\u0430\u0431\u043b\u0438\u0436\u0430\u0454\u0442\u044c\u0441\u044f \u0434\u043e \u043c\u0430\u043b\u043e\u0433\u0430\u0431\u0430\u0440\u0438\u0442\u043d\u043e\u0457 \u043a\u0440\u0438\u043b\u0430\u0442\u043e\u0457 \u0440\u0430\u043a\u0435\u0442\u0438. \u041c\u043e\u0434\u0435\u0440\u043d\u0456\u0437\u043e\u0432\u0430\u043d\u0438\u0439 \u0430\u043f\u0430\u0440\u0430\u0442 \u0437\u0434\u0430\u0442\u043d\u0438\u0439 \u0440\u043e\u0437\u0432\u0438\u0432\u0430\u0442\u0438 \u043a\u0440\u0435\u0439\u0441\u0435\u0440\u0441\u044c\u043a\u0443 \u0448\u0432\u0438\u0434\u043a\u0456\u0441\u0442\u044c \u043f\u043e\u043d\u0430\u0434 450 \u043a\u043c\/\u0433\u043e\u0434, \u0430 \u043f\u0456\u0434 \u0447\u0430\u0441 \u043e\u043a\u0440\u0435\u043c\u0438\u0445 \u043c\u0430\u043d\u0435\u0432\u0440\u0456\u0432 \u2014 \u0434\u043e 1000 \u043a\u043c\/\u0433\u043e\u0434. \u0424\u0430\u0445\u0456\u0432\u0446\u0456 \u0413\u043e\u043b\u043e\u0432\u043d\u043e\u0433\u043e \u0443\u043f\u0440\u0430\u0432\u043b\u0456\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0440\u043e\u0437\u0432\u0456\u0434\u043a\u0438 \u041c\u0456\u043d\u043e\u0431\u043e\u0440\u043e\u043d\u0438 \u0423\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0457\u043d\u0438 \u0434\u043e\u0441\u043b\u0456\u0434\u0438\u043b\u0438 \u043e\u0434\u0438\u043d \u0437\u0456 \u0437\u0440\u0430\u0437\u043a\u0456\u0432, \u0432\u0438\u044f\u0432\u0438\u043b\u0438 \u0432 \u043d\u044c\u043e\u043c\u0443 93 \u0435\u043b\u0435\u043a\u0442\u0440\u043e\u043d\u043d\u0456 [\u2026]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":207433346,"featured_media":36400,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rank_math_description":"\u0413\u0423\u0420 \u0440\u043e\u0437\u043a\u0440\u0438\u043b\u043e \u0445\u0430\u0440\u0430\u043a\u0442\u0435\u0440\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0438\u043a\u0438 \u043d\u043e\u0432\u043e\u0457 \u0440\u043e\u0441\u0456\u0439\u0441\u044c\u043a\u043e\u0457 \u00ab\u0413\u0435\u0440\u0430\u043d\u0456-5 \u041a5-\u041a\u00bb. \u0428\u0432\u0438\u0434\u043a\u0456\u0441\u0442\u044c \u0434\u043e 1000 \u043a\u043c\/\u0433\u043e\u0434, 90 \u043a\u0433 \u0431\u043e\u0439\u043e\u0432\u043e\u0457 \u0447\u0430\u0441\u0442\u0438\u043d\u0438 \u0442\u0430 93 \u0435\u043b\u0435\u043a\u0442\u0440\u043e\u043d\u043d\u0456 \u043a\u043e\u043c\u043f\u043e\u043d\u0435\u043d\u0442\u0438.","rank_math_title":"\u041d\u043e\u0432\u0430 \u00ab\u0413\u0435\u0440\u0430\u043d\u044c-5\u00bb \u0440\u043e\u0437\u0433\u0430\u043d\u044f\u0454\u0442\u044c\u0441\u044f \u0434\u043e 1000 \u043a\u043c\/\u0433\u043e\u0434 \u2014 \u0413\u0423\u0420","rank_math_focus_keyword":"\u0413\u0435\u0440\u0430\u043d\u044c-5","td_subtitle":"","subtitle":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[805620],"tags":[806764],"class_list":["post-36399","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-science-tech","tag-806764"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36399","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/207433346"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=36399"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36399\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":36402,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36399\/revisions\/36402"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36400"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36399"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36399"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=36399"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
