A U.S. contractor was killed and five U.S. service members and one U.S. contractor were wounded Thursday when a suicide drone hit a coalition base near Hasakah in northeast Syria
The Kamikaze is more like a missile as it carries an explosive payload and self-destructs during delivery. Thus, the name, ‘The Suicide Drone’.
These drones are also known as the ‘loitering munitions’. They loiter around targets and when a target is selected or detected they instantly attack it. This type of weapon system is excellent for hidden targets which are hard to detect and come out only for a short duration. Such targets require instant and repulsive action. Therefore Kamikaze’s instant reaction to a selected target makes it a great offensive weapon.
