A crashed Geran-2 one-way attack (OWA) UAV in the Sumy region of Ukraine was found fitted with KPTM-3 (Ru: КПТМ-3) canisters
These canisters contain and dispense PTM-3 (Ru: ПТМ-3) anti-tank shaped charge mines, for mining areas along the flight route
This is an upgrade from the previous small fragmentation bombs carried by the Geran-2
Further reports suggest that this method of attack is likely to become more common
Other anti-tank and anti-personnel mine dispenser canisters could also be used, including the KPTM-1 (Ru: КПТМ-1), KPTM-4 (Ru: КПТМ-4), KPOM-2 (Ru: КПОМ-2) and KPOM-3 (Ru: КПОМ-3)
