The way he ran and jumped I even thought he was the target lol… he just had to stay behind the car.
I asked ChatGPT wtf a geran drone is
The Geran-2 (sometimes spelled “Geran”) is a Russian-branded version of the Iranian Shahed-136 drone. It’s a type of loitering munition, also known as a kamikaze drone—basically a flying bomb that crashes into its target and explodes.
Key points:
• Used by Russia in Ukraine since around 2022
• Based on Iranian tech (Shahed-136)
• “Geran” means “geranium” in Russian — probably a codename, not a literal meaning
• Cheap, slow, but hard to stop when used in swarms
• Carries a small explosive warhead (around 40 kg)
• Flies low and can be used to target infrastructure like power stations, radar, or ammo depots
Tactic:
It’s not high-tech like U.S. drones, but it’s mass-produced, relatively low-cost, and meant to overwhelm defenses. Think of it like a flying landmine with GPS.
Want more detail on how it works or how it’s countered?
80+ years after WW2 and something as simple as a dive siren still has the same effect, scary as fuck.
Shahed drone’s sound is terrifying. We can no imagine how people felt when they heard buzz bombs in WWII.
Shit sounds like stukas
Sounds like ammo is cooking off
I hear lots of popping, did they hit an ammo supply?

I can’t believe this war. It’s the thing of nightmares with these drones flying around. Literally nowhere is safe, not even in foxholes or inside structures. There must be a nonstop constant anxiety of impending doom overhead.
Damn looked like a beautiful little farm… now destined to grow landmines and unexploded ordinances for the next 50 years.
They learned something from their foes last time they were there huh?
Looks like the opening scene to the latest CoD game. Wild.

Insane how these Gerans-2 have been converted into accurate precision munition in the span of like 3 months
