What are kamikaze drones?

  • Small aerial weapons, also known as loitering munitions, which are destroyed after striking the target
  • Unlike other drones – which are supposed to return home after dropping missiles – kamikaze drones are disposable
  • The name derives from the Japanese pilots who volunteered to crash their planes in suicide missions in World War Two
  • President Zelensky has previously accused Russia of using Iranian-made drones – Iran denies supplying them while Russia has not commented
