The Geran-2 (Russian for "Geranium-2") is the Russian designation for the Iranian-made HESA Shahed 136, a long-range, autonomous, loitering munition (or "kamikaze drone") known for its distinctive delta-wing, pusher-propeller design, used extensively by Russia in Ukraine for strikes on infrastructure and military targets.
(This drone was built from a photo shared on the internet.)
To launch the drone, first raise the throttle so that the drone's engine starts and the drone's propeller starts moving.
Then press Activate1 for a few seconds to launch the drone using the booster. Be sure to press Activate1 after the booster is detached so that the drone's fuel is not used for the booster.
