Geran-2 (Geranium-2)
Geran-2 (Geranium-2) is the Russian version of the Iranian Shahed 136 that has been used during Russia's war in Ukraine. Reports claim that the Iranian navigation system made from civilian components has been replaced with a Russian manufactured flight control unit and microprocessors, using the Russian GLONASS GNSS system rather than U.S. civilian grade GPS, seemingly improving its loitering munition capability.
