Dron Kamikadze Switchblade blown up Russian soldiers who hid from the Armed Forces (video)

Two fighters of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation relaxed in shelter and did not suspect that they were flying a winged bomb. The defenders of Ukraine impressed two Russian soldiers who hid from shelling on the front line, using Switchblade 300 -based ammunition. Video from the unmanned camera camera was published by a group of open sources (OSINT) researchers (OSINT) Ukraine_defence in Twitter.

The published roller shows how the drone flew into a group of Russian soldiers who hid in a deep pit in the middle of the forest plant near a trench to protect against shelling. The invaders did not even notice the approach of UAV, one of them lay on the ground and looked into the phone, and the other was about to get up and go somewhere. At this moment, the video breaks off, most likely, Dron Kamikadze exploded and eliminated the Russians.

Ukraine_defence claims that the Armed Forces used a Switchblade 300 -based Switchblade ammunition, developed by the American company Aerovironment. The apparatus weighing 2. 5 kg is fired from the launcher-tubus, opens its wings and flies up to 10 km at a speed of up to 150 km/h, the flight duration is up to 15 minutes. During the flight, the operator monitors what is happening and is given a target with a 50-fold chamber.

Switchblade 300 combat part is enough to destroy the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces or damage to light equipment. At one time it was designed specifically for the point destruction of goals that are unattainable for artillery. The United States sent about 700 Switchblade 300 drones to Ukraine in April 2022 within a $ 800 million military assistance package. The Pentagon reported that only two days were required to train operators.
