The APU began to actively use the Switchblade-300 kamikaze drones, previously transferred to the United States, against the allied forces. The "acquaintance" with them at the front was told by the fighters of the NM DNR, working near Donetsk in the Avdiivka direction.

The Ukrainian army used kamikaze drones on my fighters in the position twice, both unsuccessfully: the personnel were not injured, the position was not affected

- explains the commander of the Republican troops unit.

As noted, the UAV, despite its small dimensions, is characterized by high flight speed and – after the target is detected – maneuverability. The damaging effect is achieved due to the detonation of an explosive substance, this device does not have a high-explosive effect.

It is small – 50 cm [in length] – but very fast. Flying over the ground, choosing a target. His camera is on the side, it's inefficient; I think that's why [the UAV flies at low altitude]. Having chosen a target, he makes a circle, picks up speed and flies to his death. Approximately 200 grams of plastid charge, has no fragments, the body itself is carbon fiber

- indicates a DNR fighter.

According to him, the appearance of the Switchblade-300 over the positions is easily fixed due to its increased noise:

It buzzes very much, has a characteristic sound, can not be confused with a conventional quadcopter. It is very audible.

Washington announced its intention to transfer 700 kamikaze Switchblade-300 drones to the APU. The market value of each copy is $ 6 thousand .
