Edging closer to WWIII. Now at least death by global warming is a fair race.

That's a Mavic Air or derivative.
I doubt that is the base of this "Phoenix Ghost" as it has no load carrying capability and is suitable for recon only.

Refining the weapon systems they’ll eventually be using on American citizens.

Refining the weapon systems they’ll eventually be using on American citizens ...while at the same time dragging out this conflict with its attendant collateral civilian casualties

Good eye. I was hoping to see a picture of the actual device.

I don’t have time to look, but I vaguely recall the Phoenix Ghost being a derivative of the Switchblade 300 troop launched loitering munition. Fixed wing, like all such devices.
Switchblade pictured.

FTA:
According to the Pentagon, the US Air Force had been working on the Phoenix GhostI wonder why the USAF is developing Phoenix Ghost and not the US Army.
I can't find any pictures of Phoenix Ghost...perhaps it is being developed as a "Black" program.
Or perhaps this is a very realistic way to conduct OT&E.

Switchblade? It looks more like a Swiss Army knife.

It’s a bigger switchblade I believe (like I attempted to picture above).
Mortar or tube launched. Fixed wing, so maybe the USAF called dibs.

It’s bc the wings pop out automatically like a switchblade.

“I can’t find any pictures of Phoenix Ghost...perhaps it is being developed as a “Black” program.”
Well since it was sent to a war zone you can guarantee that by now the Chinese are reverse engineering samples of it.
