The United States of America sent 100 so-called Switchblade kamikaze drones to Ukraine.

This is reported CNN.

The US Department of Defense said that these drones will arrive in Ukraine quickly, if not already.

“We are in talks with the Ukrainians regarding the future use of Switchblade drones, and of course, we will keep this possibility open in the future,” said Pentagon spokesman John Kirby.

It is noted that the so-called kamikaze drones are small, portable, and they have warheads and explode on impact. The smallest model can hit a target at a distance of up to six miles (approximately 9.6 km).

Kirby added that the US trained a small group of Ukrainian troops who were in the US and then returned to Ukraine to train others.

“A person can be properly trained to use the Switchblade drone for about two days or so,” Kirby added.

He noted that the US will explore other options available, if needed, to train more individuals for the use of these drones.

Earlier it was reported that the US be able to identify Russian units that committed atrocities in Bucha.
