Switchblade 600 Suspected In Strikes On Russian Air Defenses

Footage shows a pair of Ukrainian special operations forces loiter munition kamikaze drones knocking out Russian air defense systems with direct hits. The bomb drone type used wasn't revealed, but the targeting system looks similar to the US-delivered Switchblade 300. However, these have a much larger blast yield, leading some to suspect that these may be the larger Switchblade 600 variant, which are designed to defeat armor and heavy vehicles.
