Japan’s Minister of Defense Shinjirō Koizumi posed with a cardboard drone on Monday during a meeting with drone manufacturer AirKamuy. The AirKamuy 150 is a cheap pre-fab cardboard drone meant to die on the battlefield and it comes shipped in a flatpack like an IKEA shelf.
What is the difference between a “suicide drone” and a missile? Both are just guided to run into their target. It’s not like an ICBM wants to return home after dropping the payload.
So with the missile, it knows where it is because it knows where it isn’t.
I guess the method of propellment (not a word).
On other news, I hate how officials always try to avoid the word “drone”. Loitering munitions, unmanned aerial vehicle. Like just say drone, there’s no confusion.
It feels very zombie movie.
