Where are all those drones the U.S. provided to Ukraine?? Why are they seemingly absent? Do they not work? Any info?

Switchblades are 5.5 lbs a pop. That would seem to be ideal for special ops. That operation in Crimea, where they may have targeted a pile of ammo, triggering the destruction of over a dozen fueled and armed aircraft? That might be kamikaze drones.

There are no silver bullets. Ultimately, Ukrainians have to adapt faster than the Russians. They don’t need to be perfect - just better and quicker. If Western aid keeps up and doesn’t fall behind Russian efforts to ramp up its war effort, the weight of that aid should turn the tide in Ukraine’s favor, assuming neither the Ukrainian government nor people lose heart and decide to give up.
