The $300 million lethal aid package for Ukraine that the Pentagon announced Friday will include the latest Switchblade combat drones, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin confirmed Tuesday.
According to Bloomberg, the White House previously announced a shipment of "series 300" Switchblade drones, which weigh 3.3 pounds, can fly about six miles and stay aloft for about 15 minutes, and are "designed to attack personnel and light vehicles" with a warhead roughly equivalent to a 40mm grenade.
The Switchblade-600 drones to which Austin referred, Bloomberg reports, weigh 50 pounds, can fly over 24 miles and stay aloft for 40 minutes, and and have the capability to destroy tanks.
Writing for The Spectator on Tuesday, Sam Cranny-Evans explains that the Switchblade-300 "is launched from a tube," is "about the size of a baguette," and "is fitted with an explosive warhead," noting that the warhead on the Switchblade-600 is the same one used by Javelin anti-tank missiles.
For both models, the "operator flies the drone into an area of interest before detecting, identifying, and attacking a target with lethal effect," Cranny-Evans added. Switchblade drones are sometimes referred to as "kamikaze drones" because they crash into their targets and explode on contact.

The US and the British do not want a civilized Europe. They want another European butchery:
The false accusations of atrocities like in Bucha (MSM's Bucha Tall Tale) being charged against the Russians are good for continued weapons procurement:
This also means profits for the US weapons industry that runs the US government.
The flow of weapons into the region isn't gong to stop and it isn't exactly clear how these weapons are going to end up in the hands of Ukrainian soldiers when hundreds are surrendering and logistics are cut off. Reports are that some of these weapons and munitions are being destroyed by Russian forces.
Ukrainian politician Kira Rudik comes right out and gives the game away:
It is obvious the British and the US are forcing Russia into a larger war:
And finally, this woman knows absolutely Jack shit about Russia and Vladimir Putin. It is absolutely astonishing the level of stupidity on display by most Americans. This ignorant woman has no clue about the circumstances in Ukraine shooting off at the mouth displaying her ignorance. All this does is add fuel to the fire. How many stupid Americans who love this woman will say, "Yeah man, Putin's balls should be cut off?" What ignoramuses. This woman was Covid injected so maybe that is why she shoots off at the mouth like she does with this vile crap. This isn't to defend Putin or Russia either, it just demonstrates how stupid many Americans are especially celebrities.
