The Biden administration is reportedly sending more than a hundred new secretive suicide drones to Ukraine as Russian military forces are reportedly exposed after having regrouped in the eastern part of the country.
The Phoenix Ghost, a drone designed by the U.S. Air Force and manufactured by Aevex Aerospace, will quietly loiter over the skies of Ukraine looking for enemy units and will engage by flying directly into the target, which will detonate an explosive warhead.
Analysts speculate that it is a comparatively small weapon that could be hard to see against the cloud cover that shrouds much of Ukraine in late April and in May,” The San Diego Union-Tribune reported. “The vehicle’s specific size, shape, payloads and capabilities haven’t be disclosed. Nor has any one explained the origin of the drone’s name.”
John Kirby, chief spokesman for the Pentagon, said that the system was designed “largely, but not exclusively, to attack targets.”
“It can also be used to give you a site picture of what it is seeing, of course. But it’s principal focus is attack,” Kirby said. “Its purpose is akin to that of the Switchblade, which we have been talking about in the past, which is basically a one-way drone and attack drone. And that’s essentially what this is designed to do.”
