armed drone
Combat robot flyer
An armed drone is an unmanned aircraft equipped with weapons—missiles, bombs, or other munitions—operated remotely or autonomously.
Military forces use armed drones for targeted strikes and surveillance missions: The armed drone struck the convoy.
The technology has transformed modern warfare by removing pilots from direct combat danger while raising debates about accountability and civilian casualties.
