Ukrainian Forces Down Russian Gerbera Drone, Destroy TOR Air Defense with Switchblade 600 at 40 km range
Oct 28, 2024, 09:41 AM
Ukrainian Defense Forces have achieved significant advancements in drone warfare, successfully downing a Russian Gerbera drone using an FPV drone for the first time. The Gerbera drone, a simplified version of the Shahed-136, was reportedly targeted by Ukrainian anti-drone units. Additionally, Ukraine's 14th Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Regiment destroyed a Russian TOR air defense system using the American-made Switchblade 600 kamikaze drone. This marks a notable use of the Switchblade 600, which has seen limited effectiveness in earlier stages of the conflict. The operation demonstrated the capabilities of loitering munitions, which can engage targets at distances exceeding 40 kilometers, with a total operational range of 80 kilometers including loitering time. The Ukrainian 79th Air Assault Brigade also conducted UAV-dropped munition strikes on a Russian BMPT tank support combat vehicle, further showcasing the effectiveness of drone technology in the ongoing conflict.
