Russia has built its own version of an Iranian attack drone to attack Ukraine, a report says.
The single-use drones, called Geran-2, appear to be Russian-made versions of the Iranian drones, the researchers said.
The Russian drones are made with fiberglass over layers of woven carbon fiber, which is different from the honeycomb type of material used in the Iranian drones, The Times noted.
The two drones that Conflict Armament Research inspected also contained electronic modules called Kometa in their guidance sections — these have previously been found in Russian drones.
An explosion of a drone is seen in the sky over the city during a Russian drone strike, amid Russia's attack on Ukraine, in Kyiv, Ukraine May 4, 2023.
