As the US takes its commitment to the Ukranians seriously one of the newer weapons provided to the Ukranians is the Kamakazi drone. It is one of the switchblade type weapons. It allows the weapon to lurk in the vicinity until it finds a target and then it strikes. Hopefully this will help. You can read and see about it here.
A one-time-use unmanned aerial vehicle, the Switchblade drone is a powerful weapon that can dive bomb its targets, such as tanks and artillery nests, at a range of up to 30 miles. So far, 700 Switchblades – large and small – have been supplied to Ukraine f

They are very advanced if they can hide and then strike.

That drone that is being used in the war between Russia and the Ukraine looks very deadly.

I am sure it is a force to be reckoned with.

@snowy22315 It is scary to be on the receiving end of one of them.

I think negotiations are kind of at a stalemate. The way it looks at the moment is that Russia might control the Eastern half and the rest of Ukraine will be sovreign. That might be the best they can do.

@snowy22315 This is what Russia is proposing from a very long time. I think that Europe should sit with them and discuss, as we are those more concerned by this war, not those who live thousands of miles from where this is happening.

I knew we were providing weapons like the Switchblade. In the military, we referred to munitions like that as area denial weapons. Landmines were once the staple area denial method. Switchblade drones are, in effect, airborne mines.

Except they can basically hone in on a target before they attack. My nephew works in weapons technology, but since his work is classified we don't know exactly what he does. I would guess it has to do with missile tracking though.
