In Video: Iskander Missile, Geran Drones Target Ukrainian Military Comms Tower

The Russian military has struck a large communication tower in the Chernihiv region used by Kiev forces to command and control drones.

Ukrainian troops and equipment deployed in the vicinity of the tower, located near the settlement of Novgorod-Seversky, were first targeted with an Iskander-M tactical ballistic missile armed with a fuel-air explosive enhanced-blast warhead. Several vehicles and a drone launcher were destroyed.

Soon after, three Geran-type suicide drones truck the tower, destroying all communication equipment installed on it. Video footage of the combined strike was posted to social networks on June 11.

The Iskander-M is said to have a range of nearly 500 kilometers and can be armed with different types of conventional warheads, weighing between 710 and 800 kg. The highly-maneuverable missile is guided by a GLONASS-aided inertial navigation system (INS).

Meanwhile, the Geran is available in two versions, which are alleged to be copies of the Iranian-made Shahed-131 and 136 suicide drones.

Both versions are guided by a GLONASS-aided INS. The Geran-1 has a range of 900 kilometers with a warhead weighing 15 kilograms, while the Geran-2 has a range of 2,500 kilometers with a warhead weighing 50 kilograms.

Ukraine escalated its drone attacks against Russia in the last few weeks to make up for its never ending defeats in the battlefield.

The Russian military didn’t only retaliate with large-scale strikes against high-value targets deep in Ukraine, but also stepped up its efforts to hunt down the drone units of Kiev forces. Several such units were neutralized recently, which shows a significant improvement in Russian intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance capabilities, also known as ISTAR.

the attacks in kiev and odessa are signs of the ingenious superiority of russia. but mostly out of geniality. because the ukrainians are bowing, they are always losing, as the course of the front proves. and russia keeps breaking them. there are clear signs that zelenskaya tactics continue to be to bomb russian civilians while discouraging the ukrainians. it just happened that russian civilians are being bombed, the more resistance is growing in ukraine.

PUTLER IS GOD

you betrayed the, israel and trump so you could set parts of kursk. you are thieves, scum ukrozz

the syrians betrayed syria by refusing to fight

the narrative

verified israeli drones covered the al queada advance . syriain army was not trained to respond . sanctions and years of cia oil and food theft killed the syrian military budget .

toglieteli gli occhi radar satelliti e comunicazioni ed è fatta. lo scienziato turing decodifico’ il codice di enigma con la quale comunicavano i tedeschi e gli inglesi conoscevano tutti i piani tedeschi praticamente i piani erano un libro aperto.

Karl Veltjens ✌️

the attacks in kiev and odessa are signs of russia’s blind rage and anger. but mostly of desperation. because the ukrainians are not bowing down, they are striking back, and hard. and russia still cannot break them. there are clear signs that russia’s tactic is no longer to bomb civilians and make the ukrainians discouraged, it has just happened that the more civilians are bombed, the more the resistance rises.
