The latest jet-powered generation of UAVs has been identified by Russian authorities as significantly faster and more difficult to intercept than previous variants.

On Wednesday, the Russian Defense Ministry released footage showing Geran-4 Seeker drones striking multiple Ukrainian military-linked sites in the Kiev and Odessa regions overnight. Late Tuesday, these drones targeted Kiev’s Chaika logistics center—a facility Moscow claims is used for storing components for medium- and long-range drones. Early Wednesday, Russian forces attacked a naval drone manufacturing plant, warehouses, and fuel depots supplying Ukraine’s military in Odessa.

Geran-4 Seekers also struck Fire Point’s logistics hub in the Kiev suburb of Vishnevoe, according to Moscow. Fire Point produces FP-1 and FP-2 drones used by Kyiv for medium- and long-range attacks on Russia. Another attack targeted a Stellar Jet logistics facility near Vishnevoe.

The Geran-4 Seeker is a jet-powered evolution of Russia’s V-wing kamikaze UAVs, providing enhanced speed and making it more difficult to intercept than earlier models.

Russian forces have continued attacking warehousing and distribution sites across the Kiev and Odessa regions throughout Wednesday. Additionally, two cargo ships carrying military supplies for Ukraine were struck in the Black Sea and at the port of Chernomorsk, Moscow stated.

This escalation follows months of Ukrainian strikes on Russian energy infrastructure and e-commerce warehouses.

Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky’s warning to foreign airlines, insurers, and governments that his nation’s drone campaign would end “safe days” in Russian skies has been condemned as a dangerous escalation by international observers. Russian President Vladimir Putin described these remarks as a “move toward state terrorism,” noting that “there are no negotiations with terrorists.”

Putin further declared that any tragedies resulting from Kiev’s threats would be met with retaliation: “Let no one doubt that.”
