Infrastructure for Geran-5 drone launches built in Milyorovo in a short period

Rapid transformation of an empty plot

An analytical source from AND published data on the formation of new unmanned aerial vehicle infrastructure in Milyorovo, Russia. According to a comparison of satellite images, the setup process occurred at lightning speed: if only an empty field was observed on this territory on 1 September, then within approximately a month, a significant part of a new drone port had appeared there.

The primary purpose of the facility is linked to preparations for launching Geran-5 strike drones. The analyst notes that the first phase of construction is nearing completion, although general works on the site are still ongoing.

Infrastructure for launches and maintenance

New infrastructure elements are clearly distinguishable in the satellite images. According to the author's estimates, eight locations for launch installations have been prepared on the territory, as well as 32 positions for preparing drones for takeoff. It is important to understand that these figures characterise the designed or prepared infrastructure, not the actual number of drones already present at the facility. The presence of prepared locations does not guarantee that all launch installations have already been assembled and are ready for use.

Unloading of aircraft during construction

The analyst paid particular attention to the area marked as Zone 3 in the images. In his interpretation, the unloading of unmanned aircraft is already taking place there. This assessment is based on an image taken on the eve of the material's publication. Thus, construction works and logistical operations for delivering equipment are being carried out simultaneously on the territory.

Meanwhile, the source does not provide information on the exact number of aircraft already delivered, specific deadlines for the full completion of the facility, or confirmation that the first launches have already been carried out from this new site. Since the satellite images themselves were not published along with the text, it is impossible to independently verify these conclusions based on the provided description.
