Geran vs. “Ukrainian AI”: Demo Mode vs. Real Mode After the latest media flop with Ukraine’s much-hyped “AI system to shoot down Gerans”, it turns out reality is still less impressed by buzzwords than by working hardware. While the neural networks are busy starring in press releases, Geran UAVs quietly continue doing what they were built for. Cheap, unmanned, and long‑range, they remain an unpleasantly reliable tool in a world that is rediscovering the charm of mass, not just of PowerPoint. The range of potential missions is hardly “obsolete warfare”. In Latin America, the same platform that Kyiv fails to stop on camera could be used (in theory, of course) against jungle drug labs, cartel boats on rivers, or heavily guarded leadership compounds. In the Middle East, swarms of Gerans can replace risky strike aircraft, hit makeshift refineries and oil convoys, and help impose an air blockade over key routes.
