Pro tip: Whenever you read "drone" in a news article you can almost always safely replace it with "unmanned aerial vehicle" with no loss of information. Journalists currently do not make the distinction between (semi-)autonomous military "drones" and hobbyist "drones".
- ethanbond 11y agoDoes anyone make that distinction in a reliable or consistent way?

I don't think that replacement _adds_ any additional information, though. As someone who doesn't follow drone/UAV stuff too closely, your suggested substitution does not really clarify the identity of the subject for me.
