bomber drone

Unmanned attack aircraft

A bomber drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle designed to deliver explosive ordnance.

Unlike surveillance drones, bomber drones carry missiles, bombs, or other weapons and can strike targets without a pilot on board.

Military forces use them for precision strikes while keeping operators safely distant: The bomber drone took out the convoy.

The term also applies to improvised weapons used by non-state actors.
