I guess these first switchblade will be a test to see how they fare in Ukrainian hands before sending them more of them .

but US should really send more drone to Ukraine of all type do , not just loitering munition , Ukrainian are really in need of air support and sending drone is far easier and less problematics than sending plane to Ukraine

The Ukrainians could really use the 600 model of the Switchblade drones. Not only does it have longer range, its warhead is designed to defeat armor. That's important, not only for being able to destroy modern Russian tanks and anti-air systems, but they could also be used to target the artilery that the Russians are wreaking havoc on Ukrainian cities with. 1000 of those would be extremely useful in the short to medium term.

Director of Communications Altun spoke to the US media:

Our Western friends should first send F-35s and Patriot batteries to Turkey without preconditions. Issues such as sending S-400s to Ukraine can only be discussed then.

Yup, more AT-4's. We do have the SAAB NLAW as well, but only in small quantities. We're also sending a lot of medical equipment and mine clearing equipment. Was really hoping they would send a few ASMs as well, would have been nice to put a few holes in the black sea fleet.

We would all love to see some advanced anti-ship missiles. One of those landing ships carrying Russian marines, would be a fantastic target in the middle of night. Nothing like drowning a few hundred Russians while they're asleep at night, as payback for the Barracks attacks in Lviv and Mariupol.

Few things would be as terrifying as drowing cold and alone in the middle of the night, at sea. Sounds like a perfect fate for Russians. The West needs to find away to get those missiles in there.

Pushing them is one thing, but finding a way to get these people armed so that they can hunt thr Russians throughout the night, that's what's most important. The Ukrainian populous has home field advantage. Find a way to arm them. The Russians have to sleep at some point...

it is difficult for us to verify the precise type of vehicle that was struck, because almost nothing remains.

This is the video

Excellent, disposable weapon. Cheap ($1500 each), with hundreds of thousands in circulation. Great for destroying infantry fighting vehicles and light armor. Also great for urban combat. 15lbs and recoiless. You can train a civilian to use it quickly and reasonably effectively.

Each batch of 5000 costs $7.5 million. That's nothing for countries that are putting forth hundreds of millions and billions of dollars to help Ukraine. I'd have Saab start building you 50,000+ today if I was Ukraine. Take them as fast as you can get them. They'll chew up light armor and infantry.
