Technologically its drone development these come from so drone in the name makes sense.

@bl8danjil there's no suggestion of a pilot, suicide is in the context of drone, the defining part of which is no pilot. This doesn't stem from a missile, it's not a missile designed to persist, it's a drone that's been weaponised.

@bl8danjil once your calling it a drone the suicide makes perfect sense (whether or not drone is a good word is now irrelevant, its long been accepted). The argument is drone or munnition, and this comes from the drone line not the munition line.

@silasla I agree it's the right set up for this type drone, just pointing out that the smaller warhead means it's more reliant on hitting or close to the target, typically an area less technologically advanced countries have been behind on.

@theowl3756 Yes, a drone normally returns home, that's why this is a suicide drone.

@theowl3756 Yes, dropping bombs or firing missiles is pretty common. Like the Bayraktar TB2 Ukraine have used in this conflict or the US predators drones that have been around for a couple of decades. Typically they aren't jets but propeller driven.

But it needs to be more accurate compared to 500kg.

Russia is fighting it's fellow slavs and the ones that suffer the most are civilians, from areas high in Russian or Russian speaking people. Try to frame it as against the US all you want but they aren't fighting and dieing on either side.

@lospolloshermanosfamily2986 its not about thinking of an answer its getting enough people trained and equipped.

Air power has always been central to western doctrine not Russian. Russian jets have performed poorly but that doesn't speak to western ones. For example stealth, now decades old for the US, is designed to operate in heavy anti aircraft environments. Russia doesn't have stealth jets in any quantity.
