Ukraine LIVE: Biden to unleash £600M war chest and game-changing 115mph 'killer drones'

The cutting-edge "Switchblade" missiles could accurately target Russian tanks and artillery positions from as far as two miles away, according to NBC news. There are two variants of the weapon, one which can pinpoint strikes on personnel, and another for destroying tanks and other armoured vehicles. These perilous weapons are reportedly the same missiles that killed Iranian military commander Qasem Soleimani under Donald Trump in 2020. Mr Biden is set to lay out a new package of additional security assistance to Ukraine of £612million and confirm the use of the drones later today. The drone comes in two variations. The first and most powerful one can dart at 115mph, piercing armour and destroying tanks. The second can kill people in the open as well as passengers in vehicles. Both Switchblades are small enough to fit into a rucksack and fired from a tube set up in 10 minutes. The Biden administration has already agreed to allocate over $1billion (£766million) to Ukraine in the past week.
