Reply to comment by Scarred4Life51 in Ukraine drone reported shot down deep in Russian territory by Miserable-Lizard

US has provided switchblade drones to Ukraine. So it’s likely a US drone that was used.

The attack happened 600kms (370 miles) from the Ukrainian border. The Switchblade has a 90 mile range.

I don’t even think the Switchblade 600s can go 90 miles. I think it’s like 40km/25 miles.

I took the 90 mile range from their website.

Gotcha, I looked at Wikipedia, lol. Regardless, not capable of 600 miles

Ukrainians have multiple of their own drone programs, some weaponized, including suicide drones with 1000km range. It should be noted though that these were never officially unveiled and their real capabilities are unknown. Ukrainians are silent about what are they actually using for these strikes.

Their military industrial complex is far more capable than people like to give it credit for.

Also, as the other guy said, while switchblade can realistically fly undetected, it doesn't have anywhere near this range and being basically flying grenade, it can't do this much damage.
