Ukrainian intelligence reports indicate Russia has deployed a redesigned Geran-5 cruise missile and a new Geran-5 drone variant (K5-K) with missile-like speeds and altitudes. These modifications suggest Russian adaptation to Ukrainian air defenses and an escalation in aerial threats, particularly against civilian infrastructure. Specifics on the new capabilities and independent verification of the K5-K variant remain unclear.
