Russia begins using "Susanin" navigation system for strikes on Ukraine

The Russian army is deploying the autonomous optical navigation system "Susanin" for Geran drones and other UAVs. It builds routes by referencing the Earth's surface, allowing targets to be hit even without operator contact or GPS signals.

Russian war correspondent A. Filatov stated that Ukrainian special services are actively searching for the system's creator. While FPV air defense poses a threat in the first 100 km from the line of combat contact, Gerans fly relatively safely beyond that zone with few shootdowns.

Previously, Ukraine's GUR also reported on the Susanin system.
