Bayraktar TB2 Runway (Wikipedia/Baykar Bayraktar TB2)
Killer drones or UCAVs (Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles) are playing important role in Ukraine. They are shown their abilities in many conflicts from Afghanistan to Azerbaidzhan and Ukraine. When we are talking about combat drones normally people mean large-size drones that are shooting missiles and dropping bombs. The used drones are Turkish made Baykar Bayraktar TB2-lerge size drones.
Those UCAVs:s are quite easy to drop by using manned jet fighters. So the use of the UCAVs requires air superiority. Those UCAVs require complicated technology. Those large-size drones are only remote-controlled or automatized attack aircraft.

Another type of those systems is "loitering munition". The miniature cruise missile can observe the area. And make kamikaze attacks.
But there is another drone type that causes concern in security authorities. The terrorists can get those systems called "loitering munitions" quite easily. They must just equip the remote control toy with a warhead and attack against targets.
Because that loitering ammunition is so small they are hard to shoot down. The weight of the smallest versions of those systems is less than 2 kg. And that means they are not very big. Those loitering ammunition can slip into the area and then shoot against the target.
The kamikaze drones can carry to the operational area by using aircraft or another drone that drops this system to the area. Also, soldiers or agents can carry those drones to attack positions. And then they can shoot against targets by using satellites or an internet connection. That kind of system might not be very effective against things like main battle tanks. But they can use against lighter vehicles, aircraft, or headquarters.
And they can be extremely dangerous in the wrong hands. Those killer drones can also use in assassination missions. There is a vision that secret agents will slip that kind of drone to opponents' capital city and attack against key personnel with this kind of system.
