The Geran-2 loitering munition has become a central component of Russia’s long-range strike strategy against urban targets and critical infrastructure in Ukraine.
Originally introduced as the Iranian Shahed-136, the UAS has since been adapted and is domestically produced in Russia, incorporating a broader range of warhead types and fuzing mechanisms.
In April 2025, a leaked technical document compiled by Ukrainian Explosive Ordnance Disposal personnel was published on Russian and Ukrainian combat-focused Telegram channels. The document provides detailed technical specifications for Geran-2 payloads, along with recommended procedures for safe handling and neutralization.
The leaked report represents an important additional layer of insight into the various types of warheads used with the Geran-2, providing a comprehensive breakdown of the different fuzing systems and their associated risks for EOD personnel. It complements prior information released in our earlier reports.
This report consolidates and details all the data we have collected regarding the various warhead types, their respective fuzes, known risks, and possible neutralization methods for the six warhead variants currently deployed with the Geran-2 UAV.
