PKK released footage showing them attacking a Turkish military base on August 20th 2020 in Shiladze, Dohuk province, north of Iraq.

A suicide drone is exploded over the base, which the PKK have claimed to kill and injure several Turkish soldiers.

A suicide drone is the official term used for a drone that its sole purpose is to act like missile/projectile/mortar...whatever. not used for actually dropping said explosive, or reconnaissance footage.

then it is a "remotely guided improvised aerial explosive".
"suicide" necessarily entails an actual person willingly dying.

Me, too!
I was like, WTF are SMURFS doing with suicide drones. Unless it was Grumpy Smurf, of course.

Seems like a dumb idea, you cant really pack too many explosives or shrapnel to a flimsy drone.
