> What’s the difference between a Tomahawk cruise missile and a drone? With human pilots, there is a bright line separating aircraft and missiles (although even that line wasn't completely firm - see Kamikazi attacks). Taking the pilot out of the equation, that line dissolves into a gradient. > Is the distinction that drone can return to base, or otherwise land and be reused? That's probably the most useful distinction.
