Why the #USArmy is acquiring 1,000 #Switchblade600 loitering munition ?
Over the next year, the U.S. Army will deploy more than 1,000 Switchblade 600 drones as part of Replicator, the Pentagon's initiative to field thousands of uncrewed systems.
The quantity was disclosed by Gen. James Mingus, the Army’s vice chief of staff, during a June 21 House Appropriations defense subcommittee hearing at the Defense Innovation Unit's headquarters in Mountain View, Calif.
The Switchblade 600, is among the few systems the Defense Department plans to purchase in the first phase of the Replicator program. It is the only system named so far. Other planned acquisitions include an unspecified fleet of maritime drones through a DIU solicitation, a collection of uncrewed surface vehicles, and counter-drone systems.

That’s is a decent Beret but not quite. 🇨🇦 Army Vet
If theyre publicly saying 1000 its probably much more than that
ph needs more sea drones 😁
Maybe we can get a discount from TEMU😂😂
They need 100,000 of them and others as well
Well, 1000 sure ain't much. About a days worth in modern war.
Interesting. US Army went for Switchblade 600 while US Marines went for Hero 120. Wonder if both services will also adopt reusable FPV drones carrying grenades and mortars for anti-personnel.
Key component.but why only 1000 ???
FFS, the real reason it has very little influence on the battlefield is that the corrupt, oligarch run Russian military procurement system has cranked out 23 of these. Contrast that to over 11,000 Bradley Fighting Vehicles. Russia is a fricking joke, unfortunately their soldiers, untrained as they are, pay the price. Russian farmers shine their shoes with sh!t and put Shinola on their wheat fields!

Sobrang palang mahal Ang mga Bomba or missile bomb na binibili natin, bakit Hindi Tayo mag develop ng sariling atin? Lingid sa aking kaalaman noon pong panahon ng dating. Pfem sr. Nakapag develop na Tayo ng missile rocket which is called bong bong rocket. Asan na ngayon Yan? Bakit Hindi denivelop? Bakit Hindi Tayo nakapag produce ng mga nasabing proyekto. Ano Ang dahilan?
they really need to get the cost of these drone units under control, we need 50,000 of them at low cost per unit.. not 2,000 a year at 80k each 💰💸
$80K is fine,as long as it's 10,000 for Ukraine ,right away. Turns out theJavelin is a great bargain as it wreaks havoc with the Russians. Switchblades have been deployed in Ukraine, it did well, but that is where we get the best return for our money.
1000 drones that cost $52k with a production of 6000/year versus Ukraine style drones that cost $500/ea and making 150,000/month [2 million a year]. China which makes the motors, video, the electronics and batteries are obviously also way ahead in manufacturing to keep up with demand, also a problem. Drone AI is in testing phase, which will make them less prone to EW, making them more effective. Lessons are not being learned yet in the US.
of course the us military is paying between 60 and 100k per unit when ukraine can achieve the same thing with off the shelf parts a fraction of the price
Those maroon berets are ridiculous.
One took out a Russian air defense system recently. It had a unique aproach but it hit the target.
I heard, what was the unique approach? Was buk or pantsir right.
❤️🇺🇸❤️ 🙂👍
So.. a week's worth? If Ukraine is anything to go by.
They go through about 10,000 a month in 2023, and their current production of 150,000/month suggests an even higher number.
Ukraine uses these as their primary standoff weapon the USA doesn't so it doesn't need as many
Need up armory😢
Why announce this for the enemy to prepare and come up with a solution for making it almost useless? I just don't understand the US utter stupidity!
Increase that to 100.000.
1000 is nothing.
Good idea but I think we should follow the UK Hydra program with reusable little drone carrying Hellfire missiles that can be launched and recovered from the back of a truck
Is that the missile with like ninja blades? Or warhead too? Cuz these switchblades are used by Ukraine they recently destroyed a sam system with 1.
@@bekeneel Just normal Hellfire not the salam slicer
What weapons systems are so secret we have never heard about them, and GOD only knows how deadly they are...
I well remember the big announcement of sending Switchblades and Phoenix Ghosts early in the war. Since then, next to nothing but crickets has been heard about them in Ukraine
The simple fact is that Ukrainian forces dont have the time to train their personnel how to effectively use them Secondly the US military uses the Joint Battle Command-Platform (JBC-P) which connects all forces on the battefield allowing them to get real time info on enemy movements again Ukraine lacks that Ukraine uses FPV because they can hunt for Russian targets and if they dont find any, the drone comes back ,Switchblade are not reusable The US military can use them more effectivelly
The 600 has been used to hit air defense however the 300 has to small of a warhead
Very little Switchblade 600 has been sent to Ukraine. Mostly were Switchblade 300. But FPV drones carrying grenades and mortars looks to be more effective and cheaper too for anti-personnel.
We've had them since 2016, we've already sent a bunch to Ukraine last year! We've launched them entirely masse out of the back of helicopters....and why didn't you mention the Switchblade 300, it's smaller little brother???
Loitering Munitions is such an ominous sounding term. I like this over the other term the news came up with to sound edgy.
Good we will need them
Absolutely
that is classified information why you reveal?!
As i understand it, one advantage the bra mod has is its movable from site to site making it not so easy to locate for possible missiles target. And now we are fixing its location. Am I getting this right?
Fake......blog
Most likely a highly effective strategy that will make China rethink a million times before the long awaited green light to take Taiwan but most likely China will develop anti drone capabilities that will counter the hellscape strategy but still it will delay the scheduled invasion
S400 not working welll bcoz just using low class tech.
One thing to note why do you always mention what you built you're supposed to have it a secret so China doesn't know that's really stupid to let him know if I know they know wake up and take some coffee
You say that about Afghanistan too
I know some french engineers… and they produce some well thought out, smart stuff. Wouldn’t bet against France.
Great affordable for airfields and important installations like power stations, tank farms, grain silos, dams etc munitions , also resilient supply chain also cheaper readily available for delivery
A message to state the end of Earthlings. Wow so dumb.
*Germany doesn't need ukr9 to develop any military system*
The Philippines is China's lapdog. They can do what they want and Pinas van't stop them.
In all fairness the Moskva makes a much better submarine.
what happened to drones like these you gave to them?
Brainwashed. The confident in your military is deteriorated .

❤️🇺🇦❤️ 🙂👍
How about Yars missile ?
Don't over think it. Apparently toilets on Moskva are simple holes in the deck. Growing up in Russia , I 100% believe it
So they say the picture shows the so called plan was blown to pieces
Say no more. Truth about the Arleigh Burke destroyers are not just mere hearsay
Nothing special on brahmos. Just an ordinary anti ship missile. Can sink only a stationary speed boat.
