The publication Defense Express, citing the words of specialist Sergei Beskrestnov, writes that warheads of various types weighing from 3 to 5 kilograms have begun to be found in downed and suppressed Russian imitation drones.

Recently, Putin's occupation army has increasingly been using Gerbera decoy UAVs with warheads against Ukraine, writes NBN.

Beskrestnov showed a photo of the corresponding drone, in the nose of which a high-explosive fragmentation warhead weighing 2.5 kilograms was found.

As Defense Express recalled, back in the summer of 2024, the developers of the Gerbera announced the possibility of equipping the drone with combat equipment and using it as a loitering munition. The Russians also intended to install communication systems and cameras on the UAV.

The publication writes that the enemy can install explosive devices on the Gerbera warheads for self-destruction after a certain period of time or by other triggers. Therefore, independent examination of the wreckage of this drone is dangerous.

Recall that last week, the TsPD commented on reports about the aggressor country's preparations for the production of new Iskander missiles with a range of 1,000 kilometers.
