Switchblade Drone: U.S. Secret Weapon Uses by Ukraine to Destroy Russian Artillery

The Ukrainians may be able to build on their success at targeting Russian armor on the ground by employing even deadlier yet much smaller UAVs. Last week, the White House announced that an additional 100 “tactical unmanned aerial systems” were part of a new $800 million weapons package bound for the besieged nation.

The small “Switchblade” drones differ from the Bayraktar TB2 or even the U.S. military’s long-range Predator drones as they are not armed with a rocket. Rather the Switchblade can loiter overhead like a traditional drone but then use GPS to guide itself like a missile straight into the target where it can detonate its payload.
