    glazing it with language like “unmanned fighter jet” instead of “drone” as if I’m supposed to jerk off about how Top Gun the murder bot is

      They probably named it like that to avoid the ridicule that is accumulating around huge and complicated US drones that are being destroyed in interesting ways, like Iran shooting it down with 60’s Soviet missile, Ansar Allah downing one every now and then with i guess Toyota Hilux or Russian pilots pissing some fuel at it causing it to fall in the sea.

      Also it’s totally not a drone, it’s fighter jet! Meaning mostly price will be 3 times more.
