Marines are testing drones that fly from grenade launchers

Marines in an experimental infantry battalion in North Carolina recently tested 7-inch-long drones that can be fired from a grenade launcher that can do surveillance or run suicide missions with precision strike accuracy at close range.
Photos and video of the Marines of 1st Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, out of Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, showing them testing the Drone 40 and the Switchblade drone at a Lejeune range in early July were released by the Corps.
Earlier in 2021, British soldiers were using a surveillance variant of Drone 40, made by Defendtex, an Australian company, in Mali, Africa, on missions, The Drive reported. Though the British military were using them via hand-launched versions rather than in their grenade launchers, at the time.
