- constantcrying 2y agoI think there is great value in distinguishing between low cost single use drones and cruise missiles. Conflating them seems stupid, they have totally different operational uses and characteristics.

You can still do it by saying e.g. "low cost cruise missile". > they have totally different operational uses and characteristics. Such as? Shaheds are used for similar goals as e.g. Tomahawks missiles. I think a problem with insisting on this dichotomy is that we will see more in-between missiles - e.g. Shahed 238 is a development of Shared 136 with a jet engine. Is it a drone or a missile and why?
