Background & analysis
Ukraine's military intelligence agency, the GUR, said on November 9, 2026 that Russia had begun using an improved variant of its Geran-5 drone, designated the K5-K, to attack Ukrainian cities, with the shift starting several weeks earlier. The disclosure was reported by Business Insider on November 10.
According to the GUR, its experts recently recovered an almost intact K5-K that had inexplicably landed in the middle of a field, allowing them to examine it. The agency said the munition is powered by a small turbojet engine and has higher flight altitude and speed than the missiles and drones it replaced, while still containing a large number of foreign-made electronic components. Citing the K5-K's aerodynamic and technical characteristics, the GUR said it can already be classified as a small-sized cruise missile.
The report did not provide specific flight performance figures, the number of attacks carried out so far, or any response from Russian officials.
