We have talked about “Switchblade” loitering munition before. I will not repeat the earlier discussion, but recently found this video and wanted to pass it along.
The systems are still out there and making news.

Chuck you might have missed it. But there is a larger Switchblade munition, the Switchblade 600. Might be more up your street…longer range, longer endurance…with a much larger warhead (it has the same warhead as a Javelin ATGM, so could take out an MBT).Works alongside the Puma AE like the smaller Switchblade (uses the same control system as well, so plug and play between the 2). Also has automated tracking of targets so any issues with jitter/lag on the connection to the operator could be alleviated. And has a wave off mode so an attack can be aborted.
Should do more than take a cabin cruiser out…

Some discussion about use of loitering munitions against ships here. https://www.usni.org/magazines/proceedings/2021/december/use-loitering-munitions-against-ships
US is sending 100 to Ukraine. Good video of the system in operation. Warhead does appear very small. https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/44785/ukrainian-president-zelensky-pleads-for-air-defenses-in-speech-to-u-s-congress
Another suicide drone, similar to switchblade, being sent to Ukraine.
