CPD refutes Russian propaganda fakes that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are allegedly abandoning Switchblade kamikaze drones

Russian propaganda is actively spreading the news that the Ukrainian army allegedly does not want to use Western weapons. In particular, loitering ammunition switchblade. The Center for Countering Disinformation reports that this is a fake.

What is known

Propaganda refers to the material CNN, which says that the Ukrainian military, despite significant deliveries of Switchblade, refuse to work with drones they are unfamiliar with and favor commercial drones armed with explosives. The authors CNN in turn, they refer to an unknown "competent source familiar with American intelligence."

Through all the materials of the Russian propaganda media, the red line is the message that Ukrainian soldiers cannot / do not want to use weapons from other countries that are unfamiliar to them. Actually this is fake. With the start of a full-scale invasion, the military is regularly sent to European countries, where they are trained to use Western weapons.

In particular, the day before, a group of specialists was trained in the use of multiple launch rocket systems. HIMARS. By the end of the month, American MLRS will be in Ukraine.
