Russia is scaling up production of jet-powered drones, including the "Geran-4," and "Banderol" missiles, as Ukraine effectively counters conventional "Shaheds." This was stated by Ukrainian Presidential Adviser Serhii "Flash" Beskrestnov, UNN writes.

According to him, Russian forces continue to use conventional attack drones, but mainly near border areas. For strikes against rear regions, the Russian Federation is relying on jet-powered UAVs.
They know that we are capable of effectively countering conventional UAVs. They continue to use conventional "Shaheds," but in the border areas. In the rear, they operate jet-powered "Shaheds" — they are betting on the "Geran-4" and the "Banderol" missile
He added that the Russian side plans to increase production of "Banderols." According to Beskrestnov's estimate, capacity could be scaled up to 300–400 such munitions per month.
