Reports point to further upgrades to Shahed-type drones, a new UAV from the Geran family, as well as notable findings at the impact site of an Oreshnik strike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These and other updates on the enemy\u2019s military technologies are covered in the 41st edition of \u201cBlack Mirror.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Titan anti\u2011drone module with a 24\u2011barrel turret<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russia\u2019s Centre for Unmanned Systems and Technologies has unveiled the modular Titan anti\u2011drone system, featuring a 24\u2011barrel 12\u2011gauge <a href=\"http:\/\/stage.thedefender.media\/en\/tags\/turrets\/\">turret<\/a> with electro\u2011optical targeting, electronic warfare capabilities, and a laser module.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the developers, the system uses artificial intelligence algorithms to identify targets and supports automatic reloading. Titan\u2019s neural network modules are said to be capable of recognising drones by analysing a database of 120 million files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"827\" height=\"465\" src=\"http:\/\/stage.thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/photo_2026-01-08_23-19-01.webp\" alt=\"The modular anti\u2011drone system \u201cTitan\u201d with a 24\u2011barrel turret\" class=\"wp-image-20405\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stage.thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/photo_2026-01-08_23-19-01.webp 827w, https:\/\/stage.thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/photo_2026-01-08_23-19-01-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/stage.thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/photo_2026-01-08_23-19-01-768x432.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 827px) 100vw, 827px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The modular anti\u2011drone system Titan with a 24\u2011barrel turret<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The system includes a laser module with a claimed range of up to 3 km. The 12\u2011gauge turret reportedly has an effective range of 15\u201335 metres, while the laser can affect drones\u2019 electro\u2011optical sensors at distances exceeding 700\u20131,000 metres. The electronic\u2011warfare systems are stated to reach 350\u2013500 metres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Titan can be deployed on ground robotic platforms, vehicles, heavy armoured equipment, and is also intended to protect stationary facilities and surface combat ships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Geran receives another modification based on an Iranian drone<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the start of 2026, during combined air attacks on Ukraine, Russian forces used a new strike UAV, the Geran\u20115, for the first time. A full analysis of this system is expected to be published on the <a href=\"http:\/\/stage.thedefender.media\/en\/2025\/11\/diu-hackathon-results\/\">War&amp;Sanctions portal<\/a>, HUR announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The drone is approximately six metres long, with a wingspan of up to 5.5 metres, and uses a conventional aerodynamic layout, unlike previous Geran variants. Many of its key components, however, remain standardised across the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"http:\/\/stage.thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/fi6ubrnis04c0frqead4.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stage.thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/fi6ubrnis04c0frqead4.webp 800w, https:\/\/stage.thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/fi6ubrnis04c0frqead4-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/stage.thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/fi6ubrnis04c0frqead4-768x432.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The wreckage of a Geran-5 drone.

Its warhead weighs around 90 kg, and its reported strike range is roughly 1,000 km.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Analysts have noted a structural and technological similarity between Geran\u20115 and the Iranian Karrar drone. Reports indicate that Russia is exploring deploying the UAV from aircraft, including Su\u201125 jets, and equipping it with R\u201173 air\u2011to\u2011air missiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Shahed with a MANPADS and an infrared searchlight<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/stage.thedefender.media\/en\/tags\/shaheds\/\">Shahed drones<\/a> have seen two notable upgrades. For the first time, a Shahed was recorded carrying a man\u2011portable air\u2011defence system (MANPADS). The drone is equipped with a camera and radio modem and is operated remotely from Russian territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The missile is launched remotely by the UAV pilot. The MANPADS is preset to target\u2011acquisition and launch mode, and the operator triggers a servo that punctures the cooling fluid in the missile seeker, initiating the launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"699\" src=\"http:\/\/stage.thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/pzrk-shahed-1024x699.webp\" alt=\"Shahed \u0456\u0437 \u041f\u0417\u0420\u041a\" class=\"wp-image-20407\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stage.thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/pzrk-shahed-1024x699.webp 1024w, https:\/\/stage.thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/pzrk-shahed-300x205.webp 300w, https:\/\/stage.thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/pzrk-shahed-768x524.webp 768w, https:\/\/stage.thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/pzrk-shahed.webp 1061w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Strike Shahed fitted with a MANPADS<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pilot has a live video feed from the forward camera, can manoeuvre the drone, and monitor the airspace, including aircraft sent to intercept the UAV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In another instance, Shahed was found with an infrared searchlight, reportedly intended to blind anti\u2011drone systems and aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"828\" height=\"785\" src=\"http:\/\/stage.thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ir-shahed.webp\" alt=\"\u0423\u0434\u0430\u0440\u043d\u0438\u0439 Shahed \u0456\u0437 \u0456\u043d\u0444\u0440\u0430\u0447\u0435\u0440\u0444\u043e\u043d\u0438\u043c \u043f\u0440\u043e\u0436\u0435\u043a\u0442\u043e\u0440\u043e\u043c\" class=\"wp-image-20403\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stage.thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ir-shahed.webp 828w, https:\/\/stage.thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ir-shahed-300x284.webp 300w, https:\/\/stage.thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ir-shahed-768x728.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 828px) 100vw, 828px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Strike Shahed with an infrared searchlight<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>SPV drone detector<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video alignleft\"><video height=\"1280\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 720 \/ 1280;\" width=\"720\" controls src=\"http:\/\/stage.thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/video_2026-01-11_13-46-27.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russian engineers have updated he SPV drone detector, which can intercept analogue video streams.

The pellets are made from a tungsten\u2011nickel\u2011iron alloy. According to the manufacturer, this composition can penetrate motors, control units, propeller components, and other durable elements of small UAVs at ranges up to around 100 metres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Igla series was first showcased at the MILEX 2025 arms exhibition. Different models in the series have varying effective ranges, with the Igla\u2011100 reportedly able to pierce two 1\u2011mm aluminium sheets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ufa Tram and Trolleybus Plant unmanned all\u2011terrain vehicle<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Ufa Tram and Trolleybus Plant has demonstrated trials of a new unmanned all\u2011terrain vehicle, whose name has not yet been revealed. The platform is simple to operate, with training reportedly taking up to two hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It can traverse difficult terrain and is intended for casualty evacuation and delivering up to 500 kg of cargo.
