Loitering munitions:
The Russians are likely to suffer even heavier losses now that the United States is not only providing Ukrainians with many more Javelins but also 100 Switchblade kamikaze drones — technically known as loitering munitions — that can stay aloft searching for a target and then dive into it. The combination of TB2 drones and Israeli-made loitering munitions proved highly potent for Azerbaijan in its victorious war against Armenia in 2020. As I previously reported, 47 percent of Armenia’s combat vehicles were damaged or destroyed. [“Russian tanks are taking a beating. Do they still have a place on the modern battlefield?” Max Boot, WaPo]
Great name! So will Boot mention my idea for “faux-crashed drones” as having already been done?
