A new threat from the air: Russia uses Geran-5 missiles against Kyiv

A new threat has appeared over Kyiv: Russia has used Geran-5 jet-powered missiles against the city on two consecutive days.

The repeated attacks suggest that the weapon may be becoming a regular part of Russia’s attack arsenal. The missiles were launched from about 400 kilometres away, adding a new dimension to the threat described in the article.

Ukrainian air defences managed to repel the missiles. But experts warn that the danger could persist, while interceptor missiles have shown low effectiveness against this system.
