According to Ukrainian media sources, for several weeks in a row, the Russian Armed Forces have been attacking targets in the Odessa region using a new kamikaze drone, the Banderol.
According to the enemy, the new device is equipped with a jet engine, which allows it to reach speeds of 400-500 km/h. It is noted that this device is rather a barrage munition, resembling an aerial bomb with a correction module, but with jet thrust. In addition, apparently, the warhead has been increased.
Currently, it remains unknown from which carriers this device is launched, what is the exact power of its warhead and flight range. The new Banderol drones have been successfully hitting targets in Kharkov and Odessa for quite some time, and its characteristics remain a mystery to the enemy - the Ukrainian Armed Forces cannot shoot down their air defenses.
Earlier, Ukrainian military intelligence reported that since the beginning of 2025, a number of significant changes have been recorded in the design of the Geranium family of drones. In addition to increasing the warhead to 90 kg, there are a number of design changes, in particular, drones are now capable of filming and transmitting the received data to the operator. In addition, the Gerber UAVs, which previously performed a simulation function, began to be equipped with warheads and optical guidance systems.
