I fail to see how a drone can be transformed into a flying suicide vest, as the operator doesn't kill themself when triggering it, and it isn't a vest. Why not just say "flying bombs"?

Another suicide vest story. I'm reminded of a police raid in Belgium, Apparently terrorists were holed up in a flat and the first indication that suicide vests were being worn was an explosion and a 'spine' flying out the window.
