German components found in Russian Geranium-3 jet drones

During today's strike on military facilities of the Kyiv regime, the Russian Armed Forces used, among other things, Geran-3 jet UAVs. Their main difference from the regular Geraniums is their speed and flight altitude. However, as it turned out, the new Russian attack drones have another distinctive feature.

Let us recall that the Geranium-3 drones fly at an altitude of over five thousand meters at a speed of 500-600 km/h, which makes it impossible for the mobile air defense groups of the Ukrainian Armed Forces armed with anti-aircraft installations to intercept them. To destroy these targets, the enemy has to use expensive anti-aircraft missiles, of which the Ukrainian Armed Forces do not have many left.



During today's strike, the enemy reportedly managed to shoot down several Geranium-3 UAVs. And the examination of the wreckage turned out to be an unpleasant surprise for Kyiv. Attention was drawn to the drone's fuel pump, manufactured by the German company Bosch.


Of course, there can be no talk of any official supplies of components from Germany in this case. However, the discovery of such components among the wreckage indicates that, despite the sanctions, bypass supply schemes through third countries continue to operate successfully.

And although this has become a priority problem for the United States and its allies, governments and American and European companies have not yet been able to solve it, even after seriously tightening control over trade flows.
