  "account": "Russia has upgraded its Geran-4 jet-powered kamikaze UAVs, allowing them to fly up to 600 kilometers inside Ukraine, according to Ukrainian presidential adviser Serhii Beskrestnov. The earlier Geran-3 models could only cover 300 to 350 kilometers. Russian forces have largely abandoned the Geran-3 in favor of the more advanced Geran-4, which can target deeper into Ukrainian territory and more distant locations. The Defense Intelligence of Ukraine reported in May 2026 that Russia began using the new jet-powered Geran-4 drone against Ukraine. This new model is faster and more dangerous than previous versions. Russia developed the Geran-4 to counter the effectiveness of Ukrainian interceptor drones. The Geran-4 maintains the same size as its predecessor, measuring 3.5 meters in length and 3 meters in width, and is powered by one of two Chinese-made Telefly turbojet engines.",
