...FY2024. Maybe they didn't work out so well in the Ukrainian War.

Maybe they should have bought some Russian Lancet drones. Here's a video of about 30 different Lancet kills. Looks like at least a battery equivalent of M-777s hit and another 3-4 American counter-battery radars. And lots of sorted NATO SP guns. But its all staged, nothing real here, Western MSM (including Fox) doesn't talk about so it doesn't exist. Just send more money and arms to GW/WC Zelinsky's government. They'll win in the end...

the switchblade 600 better suited for targets like tanks , isn't in service with the US , so it can be a private venture sale to UKE

the 300 is more of a grenade size munition not ideal for tanks and armored vehicles

the UKE are also building their own reusable drones to drop grenade size munitions , return home and be re-armed

cost per round is an issue with a drone that destroys it's self


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Yeah, I've seen a number of videos of the AFU using those littler drones dropping basically a 60mm mortar round. The problem is that they don't have much a range compared to a Lancet. And that's the problem with much of the stuff being used by the Ukies, they are often outraged, they can't hit Russian logistics further back from the forward contact line. We'll see how well the AFU drone swarms (what's going to replace their lack of fixed wing air force assets) when the grand warm season AFU offensive to cut the northern Rus land line to Crimea starts.
