Photos Show Russian Gerbera Drones Recovered in Poland Had Secret Long-Range Tanks

Photos of Russian Gerbera drones recovered in Poland reveal modifications that contradict Moscow’s claims about their limited range. Militarnyi, citing the independent military expert Telegram channel “Polkovnik GSH,” reported that the Gerberas found on Polish territory were equipped with additional fuel tanks in the nose section, extending their endurance beyond the standard 700 kilometers.
By contrast, Gerbera drones previously documented in Ukraine have not featured these auxiliary tanks. Images of wreckage collected from multiple downed drones inside Ukraine show only the basic fuselage, without modifications.
Analysts suggest this indicates the existence of a special long-range variant designed specifically for operations against NATO territory.

Independent military experts noted: “The inflow of these drones into Poland clearly shows they were adapted for a greater distance. This is not the same Gerbera seen in Ukraine.”
The Russian Ministry of Defense earlier denied responsibility, arguing that the drone type could not physically reach Polish airspace due to its maximum flight range. However, the technical evidence from wreckage in Poland directly undermines that assertion.
Earlier, it was reported that Ukrainian President Zelenskyy offered to assist Poland with air-defense and early-warning systems, framing the drone incursions as a coordinated escalation.
