A Switchblade can be described as a small, unmanned aircraft vehicle capable of carrying explosives. This allows it to hit its target while reducing collateral damage. These small drones can be classified as a midrange between a cruise missile or an unmanned combat air vehicle. They are small enough that they can be carried in a backpack. Although there is no price yet for unmanned aircraft, it does cost several thousand of dollars.
AeroVironment
Since 2014, Switchblade's debut on the market, the question of the price of the drone has been an ongoing topic of debate. The drone is not cheap at $71,200 per unit. But there are advantages. One advantage is that it's not an aerial bomber. The drone is an excellent option for Ukraine, even though its price tag is $71,200.
KUB-UAV
Russia's Kalashnikov UAV (Kalashnikov KUB) was displayed at the International Defence Exhibition & Conference Abu Dhabi. This stealthy UAV has a top speed 130 km/h and a flight endurance of 30 minutes. According to the General Director of Rostec (state-owned arms manufacturer), the KUB–UAV is unique because of its relative quietness and ease-of-use. AeroVironment’s Switchblade has been similarly promoted for its quiet electric propulsion as well as its low training requirements.
U.S. Army
The Switchblade is a small, lightweight, and combat-proven unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). It can be launched from a ground control station, which processes real-time video data from payload cameras. The operator of the Switchblade can store and analyze screen images to assess targets and track them. The Switchblade's ground station is capable of transmitting video and metadata to an operation network in real time.
Switchblade 300
The Switchblade 300 is significantly cheaper than other drones on the market. The manufacturer estimates that the Switchblade 300 will cost approximately $6,000 per piece. The Switchblade is able to hit light vehicles, trucks, or infantry. It is ineffective against main combat tanks, but it can cause major headaches. It can cruise at 101km/h and sprint as fast 160 km/h.
Price
The Switchblade, a small and high-speed drone capable of attacking targets in non-lineof-sight areas, is small. Its advanced technology allows it to engage light armored vehicles and tanks. A Hellfire missile can be fired from the device, which costs $150,000 per use. This weapon is powerful and worth investing in for any military force. Although the price is approximately $6,000, it may not be affordable to all users.

How do I clean my drones?
Before cleaning your drone, here are some tips. This guide will help ensure that your drone gets every bit of its potential.

All parts must be removed. Next, take out all the parts on the drone's bottom. Check that none of them are loose, as they may fall off when you try to clean the machine.

Put on the battery. It's crucial to place the battery after you have cleaned your drone. By doing this, you can test how well your drone functions after cleaning.
