don t have the right sequence for firing or how to prepare them for launch. it is important the administration sends training simulators to make the javelins more effective. joey: switchblade anti-tank drones are another weapon the u.s. is providing ukrainian forces. what is a switchblade drone and how will it be used on the battlefield? yeah, the switchblades are incredible drone technology that is out there, essentially like if missile was to orbit and you are able to look at the target before strike. it makes it more surgical, in that regard. the switchblades have taken a while to get in the country and there are not many. the administration talked about sending another drone, the ghost drone, low cost suicide drone that behaves like the switchblade.
in. it s speed. the ghost drone is a low cast low cost suicide drone. it has a range of 24 miles and a loiter time of about 40 minutes. they can use it in mariupol. the switchblade has about six to eight kilometers and six to eight minutes of loiter time. more civilians like these folks in mariupol could be saved if the u.s. government and nato provided more weapons, this is a war of logistics. whoever wins the race will win the war. russia has regrouped, consolidating forces and hammering the east none like i have seen ever before. my guys are taking rounds, missile strikes in areas that were deemed safe. doesn t seem like it s an issue with the will of the administration. it s more about the speed and competence in which the administration and allies can get stuff to the front line. when zelensky comes out on the
billion in overall assistance. the game changer i m waiting to see will have to do with the impact of the so-called switchblade drone, this is manned portable, launched out of a tube, it expands, it s essentially a suicide drone it s electric so you can t, battery powered, you can t hear it. and it can loiter above with a soldier looking at it and guiding it at the feed and then have it dive on to an enemy after about 25 or 30 minutes or so, quite accurate, can lock on to a target. i m told the first hundred of these in the initial package will be the smaller warheads more for personnel than vehicles but if more of these can be fed in, this could be of enormous assistance as the ukrainians are carrying out these local counterattacks such as the one you described northwest of kyiv in the past 24 hours.
