The Russian drone model coming to Romania and Poland is full of electronic components made in several countries, says Ukraine

Geran-3, inspired by an Iranian drone, is faster than its predecessor.
The new Jet propulsion drones of Russia, Geran-3, are equipped with foreign components and built with jamming resistant technology to protect them from electronic war, the Ukrainian army said on Tuesday, according to American Business Insider.
Incursion in Poland: Drone Gerbera
A week ago, 19 Russian drones entered Poland, a few being shot down. Several photos and videos distributed online by Poles show that collapsed Russian drones were Gerbera type, the Russian publication from Exil, Meduza said. These gerbera drones are usually used by Russian armed forces as baits meant to “saturate” Ukraine air defense systems, which can only follow and target only a limited number of objects.
In Russian attacks on Ukraine, these baits generally constitute most of a “salve”, while a smaller part is made up of fighter drones, such as Geran/Shahed, and missiles. It was not communicated if the undisturbed drones were also cheap, cheap, or geran.
To us was a geran drone
A few days away, in the area of Chilia Veche in the Delta, another Russian drone sailed for 50 minutes in the airspace of Romania, then leaving the country, under the monitoring of NATO military aircraft. In the case of Romania, the drone was Geran.
Ukraine's military information agency, known as Hur, has published new details about Geran-3, the Russian equipment inspired by the Iranian model Shahed-238, including what is inside this lethal weapon.
Geran-3 first appeared in Ukraine earlier this year, and since then the drone has become a regular element of Russian attacks. It is a faster and more advanced version of Geran-2, the version produced in Russia of the Iranian Shahed-136 model.
The Ukrainians say that the internal disposition and the electronic units of Geran-3s are similar to those of the Geran-2 variant, and the available data suggest that this new Jet propulsion drone is equipped with the same camera and the same video transmission system as its predecessor.
50 components from western countries in the Geran drone
But Geran-3 is especially equipped with a satellite navigation system that seems resistant to extended electronic war tactics used to counteract drones on both sides of the conflict.
Almost 50 foreign components are inside Geran-3, coming from a few Western countries-including the US, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Germany-and China, Hur said. Beijing has long been accused of providing critical technology to Russia, an accusation he denied.
Can reach raids with 2,000 drones
Russia has been severely sanctioned by the international community following its large -scale invasion of Ukraine, but although a country or company may not be involved in the direct export of its technology to Russia, it is possible that the parts manufactured abroad will reach there by means that cannot be controlled.
Russia also builds new launch bases for its attacks against Ukraine. The Kremlin launches hundreds of drones in mass attacks-a bombing since the beginning of this month has involved over 800 drones-and Western Intelligence Services suggests that this figure could eventually reach 2,000 in one night.
