    suicide drone? why are we using this term. call it loitering munition, this has nothing to do with suicide and only serves to sensationalize the title by drawing unconcious parallels to other “suicide” violence methods.

    (please tell me if and how i am wrong by commenting, this is my first time encountering this term)
