Reconnaissance drones differ from traditional "Shahed" drones with piston engines, which have a speed of approximately 150–200 km/h: thanks to their turbofan engines, they fly several times faster. Russia uses several modifications of these drones, including "Geran-3", "Geran-4", and "Geran-5"; "Geran-5" is similar to a winged missile and can be launched from an aircraft, reaching a speed of up to 600 km/h.
