Helsing to develop air defense missiles to counter Russian Geran-5 drones by 2027

German drone maker Helsing announced plans to field a new air defense system by mid-2027 specifically to counter Russian Geran-5 drones, which are reportedly harder to intercept. This marks a direct industry response to evolving drone threats in the Ukraine conflict, signaling a shift toward counter-drone capabilities in European defense procurement. The timeline suggests a multi-year development effort, with uncertainty over system specifications and integration with existing NATO air defense architectures.
