US to send 100 kamikaze drones to Ukraine Switchblade as part of a new $800 million arms package.
Told about it Politico top Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee Michael McCall.
The weapon exists in two versions – Switchblade 300 and 600: the 300th model is designed for pinpoint strikes against the military; 600th – to destroy tanks or other enemy equipment. The US Special Operations Command purchased it from AeroVironment, a manufacturer in Washington.
Switchblade are robotic smart bombs. They are equipped with cameras, targeting systems and explosives. They can automatically hit targets many miles away and can be guided around targets until the time is right to strike. According to the company, the Model 600 is capable of flying for 40 minutes and covering distances of up to 80 kilometers.
This weapon is disposable, which is why it was nicknamed the “kamikaze drone”. They fly much faster than the Turkish Bayraktar TB2 drones that Ukraine already uses successfully. The UK is the only foreign country currently allowed to buy the Switchblade.
