Since 2014's launch of Switchblade, the topic of cost has been hotly debated. It's not cheap, at $71,200 per piece. But there are advantages. For one thing, it's not a flying bomb. It's an excellent choice for Ukraine, even though it comes at a high price of $71,200 per unit.
KUB-UAV
Russia unveiled the Kalashnikov Kub-UAV, a small and stealthy UAV capable of flying at speeds up to 130 km/h. It can also last 30 minutes in the air. The KUB-UAV, a state-owned arms producer, is distinguished by its relative quiet and ease of use, according to General Director of Rostec. AeroVironment’s Switchblade has been similarly promoted for its quiet electric propulsion as well as its low training requirements.
U.S. Army
The Switchblade unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is small and lightweight. It has been combat-proven. It can be launched using a ground control station which processes real time video data from payload camera payloads. The Switchblade's operator can analyze and store screen images in order to track targets and assess their potential. The Switchblade's Ground Station can also transmit real-time video and metadata to an Operations Network.
Switchblade 300
The Switchblade 300 costs less than most other drones currently on the market. The company that manufactures this weapon estimates that the Switchblade will cost about $6,000 per unit. The Switchblade has the ability to strike light vehicles and trucks as well as infantry. It is ineffective against main combat tanks, but it can cause major headaches. It can cruise at 101 km/h or sprint as fast as 160 km/h.
Price
The Switchblade, a small and high-speed drone capable of attacking targets in non-lineof-sight areas, is small. It can also engage light armored vehicles (tanks) thanks to its advanced technology. It can also fire a Hellfire missile at $150,000 per shot. This powerful weapon is worth the investment. The price of the weapon is $6,000 but it might not be affordable for everyone.
