hunter killer
Seeks and destroys
Hunter killer describes military assets designed to both locate and destroy targets.
The term applies especially to submarines tasked with finding and sinking enemy vessels, and to armed drones that can identify and strike targets autonomously.
The pairing emphasizes that hunting and killing are combined in a single platform: a hunter-killer submarine, hunter-killer drones patrolling the border.
