For the first time, the Ukrainian Army used the American Switchblade UAV on the battlefield, and it exceeded expectations

The Switchblade UAV has not only made its way to the Ukrainian Army, but it is also being used to attack and destroy targets on the battlefield. The US Department of Defense only recently made this information public. Ukraine is said to have received 100 Switchblade 300 attack drones, with the same number of Switchblade 600 UAVs (designed to destroy armoured vehicles) being delivered, according to official data. According to the Pentagon, a large number of Switchblade drones have been delivered to Ukraine, but more are on the way. Furthermore, Washington does not rule out the possibility of providing many other types of US-made attack UAVs in the future.


Even so, the US Department of Defense has decided to withhold information about the use of attack drones, citing a security concern about disclosing the specific operation of the Switchblade UAV on the battlefield. The Switchblade is a single-purpose tactical attack drone developed by AeroVironment in the United States, based on the Israeli Harpy and Harop’s success. The light Switchblade 300 and the heavy Switchblade 600 are two different models of this UAV line. Currently, the United States has given Ukraine both versions to use for various purposes.The Switchblade 300 is intended to destroy light armoured vehicles as well as enemy personnel. There is an option for the UAV to attack enemy drones as well.


The UAV is small in size, with a length of 610 mm and a total weight of only 2.7 kg, and it folds easily into a backpack. Switchblade 300 is a mortar-launched aircraft with a range of up to 10 kilometres and a flight time of about 10 minutes. The drone identifies, tracks, and hits the target using digital cameras and GPS. It can also be automated to attack a stationary target with provided coordinates. The Switchblade 300’s warhead is similar to that of a grenade, and it can explode when it hits a target or detonates in the air. The operator has the ability to cancel the attack and reroute the drone. UAV powere

Russia has captured many western countries weapons. Ukraine are on the run and they don't want to die by Russia hands.

Do you remember when they said Rússia only had 3 days of food left? How much time was it?

Propaganda don't win wars

Russia has captured suicide drones, isn't that hilarious?

if such drones were captured then it's intentional. People actually don't understand how spies work during "intelligence" wars. Modern wars are different from ancient wars with sticks and blades. Both sides know that captured troops are questioned and from what they're asked and the answer they gave is a key to intelligence gathering which is why prisoner exchange is very vital in advanced wars and both parties know how they both need intelligence gathering from each other via captured prisoners. At the start of the war, some Russian soldiers just surrendered and allowed themselves to be captured without any resistance. Russians knew they were going to a serious war when Ukraine was thinking that it was just a mare bruse. It's here in Africa that there's no such intelligence in war that's why most of you are judging war between intelligence with your local background and level of understanding.

Russia has captured many weapons which they don't care to use or event take with them they just leave it for the new country they want to create from Ukraine to decide on what to do with it.

Lol! How can they use weapons that were permanently disabled when captured? You're really confusing advanced modern war weapons with Boko haram Russian made sticks.

Another Trophies � for putin

See how fake news works on NL.

See the headline and link with a different and unrelated story.

They copy and paste screen captions and rubbish spewed by faceless people making up nonsense from the internet.

The link has nothing to do with the fake story and caption, there's nothing in the link about Russia capturing any switchblade drones.

How did this obvious trash end up NL?

Low-value system, low standard, poor quality control, and a sad dumping ground for trash.

Lousy moderation as usual.


Sad.

The united state technology in the hands of their enemy because of fish brain like US leaders that let's stupid emotions controls them lol

Permanently disabled.. Lol is that your wishful thinking.
Switchblade is the option of disabling the warhead during the mission, even before the final strike. In numerous cases it saved the lives of civilians who were mistakenly identified as hostiles.

These kamikaze drones can be both reconnaissance and deadly weapons in the fight against the enemy.

So all the equipment was captured so how can they disable it when Russia has the button and the cadget.

You want the some other sources and I can provide another one, but you will still not accept. So it's a waste of time.
