This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

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.
