    I don’t understand the jargon. They’re were using cruise missles decades ago, so why weren’t they kamikaze? Because they were self directed? Could not jam them as they didn’t communicate and didn’t have to use gps.

      It likely has more to do with the air foils (wings) which are required to keep it aloft? Same for quad prop drones

      Versus missile that just goes balls to the walls and only needs air foils for steering, if I venture an educated guess

      Perun talked about this in one of his videos in the last year or so

        Tomahawks are subsonic and long-range, so I assume they're flying with a ramjet or other small jet engine. The anti-ship kinds seem to be (far?) shorter ranged and they can really boogie. Speed there to avoid the defensive missles.
