Russia developed as jet-powered, single-use drone to counter [[US]]-supplied [[HIMARS]] launchera in Ukraine. Unlike propeller-driven [[Geran]], the new jet powered drone strikes with terrifying speed, reducing reaction time & delivering devastating kinetic energy. Its guidance system allows it to pursue and hit moving targets like mobile artillery—a critical capability previously reserved for costly [[missile]]s.
