Satellite imagery reveals Russia is rapidly expanding its network of jet-powered attack drone launch sites, posing a growing threat to Ukrainian air defenses. Investigations have identified multiple bases equipped with launch infrastructure, storage facilities, and growing stockpiles of the newer Geran-4 and Geran-5 drones. At one facility in Russia's Oryol region, images show dozens of jet-powered drones alongside additional launchers and expanding storage capacity. The shift to faster, jet-powered variants is reshaping the dynamics of Russia's aerial campaign against Ukraine. Ukrainian officials have warned that these drones are appearing in increasingly large numbers, while Russia continues to scale up the facilities designed to sustain repeated strikes. This video breaks down what the latest satellite imagery reveals, how the new drone network is developing across multiple bases, and why the increased speed and operational scale of these weapons could place further, sustained pressure on Ukraine's already-stretched air defense systems. #RussiaUkraineWar #JetPoweredDrones #DroneWarfare #SatelliteImagery #UkraineAirDefense #Lykstage #LykstageVideo #LykstageCreator #LykstageCommunity
