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"?
I came to realise that every time we recognise something human in creatures, we are also recognising something creaturely in ourselves. That is central to the rejection of human supremacism as the pernicious doctrine it is.

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.
