The US Defence Department is actively working to establish a contract to procure 10 Switchblade 600. It can fly more than 24 miles and linger for more than 40 minutes before attacking with an anti-armor warhead. Meanwhile, a Ukrainian commander in Mariupol appealed directly to Elon Musk for help on Twitter. Serhiy Volyna asked Musk to intervene on behalf of those trapped by Russian forces in control of the southern city. Watch the full video for more.
