There is a possibility that advanced American suicide drones will be provided to Ukraine to counter the Russian invasion. This is the form of the drone
This is the larger Switchblade 600 drone. The other is the smaller Switchblade 300.
This Switchblade drone is made by the AeroVironment company and is one of the mainstays of the US military. He is nicknamed the 'kamikaze' drone because it can kill itself by hitting its target with a high warhead so that both are destroyed.
AeroVironment itself asserts defending Ukraine in defending their homeland from Russian military attacks. "AeroVironment stands with the Ukrainian people and all NATO members," they said recently.
Coming back to Switchblade, this drone is basically a smart robotics bomb. Among other things, it is equipped with cameras, guidance systems and of course warheads to immobilize targets.
The switchblade can be programmed to automatically go to a target that is quite far away. This drone can also maneuver first while waiting for the right time to crash.
Switchblade operation is performed via a tablet device, either manually or automatically.
The smaller Switchblade 300 drone, measuring 610 mm in size and weighing 2.7 kilograms, is small enough for soldiers to carry. The wings are folded and only expand when airborne. It can be operated up to a distance of 10 kilometers.
As for the larger version, the Switchblade 600, it weighs up to 23 kilograms, but is still quite portable. This drone can fly up to 80 kilometers and strike targets at a speed of 185 kilometers per hour.
This switchblade will be one of the most advanced weapons against Russia. The US military itself has used it on a limited basis during the war in Afghanistan some time ago.
But there are questions as to whether the Ukrainian army can operate it quickly or require special training. So far, the UK is the only country outside the US allowed to buy Switchblade.
