When the Pentagon announced its decision to supply Ukraine with the Switchblade drone, many experts were skeptical of the difference it could make on the battlefield.
The U.S. military has sent Ukraine weapon systems worth billions of dollars. Some of them, such as the FGM-148 Javelin anti-tank weapon and FIM-92 Stinger anti-aircraft missile, are more advanced than others and have seen wider use. Others, such as the M777 155mm towed howitzer, are more pertinent to the current phase of the war in the Donbas.
But the Switchblade loitering munition is probably the most interesting of the lot.
