The Russian Federation develops a copy of the American drone Switchblade: What is known

Russian developers do not reveal the technical details of the domestic switchblade 600, but visually it is very similar to the American counterpart. In Russia, a strategic session in the military-innovation technopolis of the era has begun. It is planned to develop a number of drones, including a copy of the American Switchblade 600. The Defense Blog reports.

The first Deputy Minister of Defense, Colonel-Beck Yevkurov, as well as officials from the military-industrial complex, was present in the event of the development of drones. During the session, a shock drone was demonstrated, which is constructively similar to the American Switchblade 600. The characteristics of the drone are kept secret, but the author emphasizes the classification. Switchblade is classified as a rocket, not a drone, it is called unmanned ammunition.

This means that Switchblade 600 is not recoverable after start -up, as it can be with drone. American development works with a radio frequency signal similar to TWC. Also, "unmanned ammunition" means that it can hang in the area before pointing on the target. The control is stored until the attack of the enemy target. We will remind, on November 29 in China a copy of Switchblade 300 was developed in China, which may indicate a large scale of industrial espionage.
