this new drone. we know it s a big mystery right now. this phoenix ghost drone is believed to be in some ways similar to the switchblade drone which we ve talked about before. this is small, it can be carried in a backpack, troops can launch it in a minutes notice. it doesn t go that far, it doesn t hang in the air that long and doesn t move that fast but it can be used to drive down upon a target, a tank, anything they want to, an artillery position and blow it up and they have been used with great effectiveness. so what is different about the phoenix ghost? the pentagon says it requires some minimal training for knowledgeable drone operators. so, in other words, people who can already use the switchblade drone can probably learn to operate this quickly. differences in the scope of capability, they will not say what this is but one might imagine that it has something to do with the speed and loitering time and it was developed for the set of requirements that very closely match what
