Susanin" guidance system for strikes against Ukraine. ▪️The Russian army is using the "Susanin" autonomous optical navigation system for "Geran" drones and other UAVs. This system determines the route by referencing the Earth's surface, allowing it to strike targets even without communication with the operator or a GPS signal. ➖"Currently, there is the 'Susanin' navigation system that uses the underlying surface for guidance. Ukrainian intelligence agencies are aware of this system and are actively searching for its creator. It allows 'Geran' drones to fly without radio beacons, navigating based on the underlying surface. Currently, the biggest threat to 'Geran' drones is the FPV air defense system deployed by Ukraine. This is a multi-layered, echeloned defense. However, after penetrating the first 100 kilometers from the front line, the 'Geran' drones can fly relatively freely, meaning they are shot down much less frequently," said Russian military correspondent A. Filatov.
