A warhead from a mysterious missile was found on a Russian “Shahed” (photo)
Russians equip their Shahed UAVs with a warhead from an unknown missile.
From its own sources, Defense Express received photographs of combat parts from Shahed-136 kamikaze drones shot down during a raid on the night of December 11, 2023. These UAVs belong to the conditional modification of the “Geranium-K”, i.e., Russian-made “Shaheds”, which have their own design features compared to Iranian drones and are distinguished by a non-standard warhead weighing 40 kilograms, with high-explosive and fragmentation equipment.
In fact, the photos are valuable because these warheads have preserved markings that allow us to support the hypothesis that the Russians used a warhead for one of their guided missile types to equip the Geranium-K. However, the type of these missiles is still a mystery.
“The code “MSNI.372364.372. 6-223”.
Because if we try to search open sources, the “traces” can lead, for example, to the mention of the contract with the alphanumeric code “”MSNI.372364.188”, which was signed in 2018 by the racist state-owned enterprise “State Research Institute of Mechanical Engineering named after V.V. Bakhirev” from the Tactical Missile Defense Corporation for the supply of “Product 95Y6” – jet engines for anti-aircraft missiles 57E6 from the Pantsyr-S complex.
However, the 57E6 anti-aircraft missile for the Pantsyr has a warhead weight of only 22 kilograms, meaning that the warhead for the Geranium-K was not taken from there.
