It’s to do with how the drones operate: A big expensive drone might be fitted with say, a gun or a rocket? The idea being that you fly it out, shoot someone, bring it back and fly it out again.
A suicide drone is much, MUCH cheaper, and consists of a normal drone with a bomb strapped to it. It doesn’t come back, it destroys itself in order to give you one cheap drone attack (which is good in areas where your drones are likely to be shot down regardless of if they’re a suicide model or not, for example trying to drone strike a densely populated and heavily defended city).
Yah, dollar store guided missile. Sure it’s not as guided, but when you can easily afford to just throw 40 of them out right into anti-air defences because if even one slips through it will be monetarily worth it…
I’m out of the loop. What did he do to be a shitty person?
Sold shitloads of suicide drones to Russia and went on an absolute crusade against women’s rights.
Okay YUP. . Fuck that guy glad he’s dead.
Is he the reason for the Taliban takeover??
In Afghanistan? No. Iran is neighbors with Afghanistan but the Taliban’s base of control is along the Afghan border with Pakistan.
Suicide drones? Weird name.

So it’s like a guided missile. Thanks. Damn, that shit is terrifying.
