There’s new a drone on the battlefield. Only six months old, video of it in action is still secret. Unlike armed drones that carry weapons under the wings, launching them and returning to base, the Switchblade “kamikaze” drone carries its own warhead, and blows itself up – taking out tanks, armored vehicles and artillery nests with it.

So far 700 Switchblades – both large and small — are being sent to Ukraine to be used against the Russians.
