Everyone’s thinking of drones dropping bombs, but they aren’t thinking of the true horror; kamikaze micro drones. It doesn’t take much to kill someone, and micro drones can be wicked fast. Imagine a swarm of drones the size of a finch or smaller, each carrying a tiny explosive. Imagine these drones flying next to people’s heads and detonating themselves. You could clear out a whole building with very little structural damage.

That’s horrifying. I was thinking of this one:
Sure, but what kind of range do you get with tiny drones? Although they could probably be delivered to the vicinity by some other vessel. Like cluster warheads but with a large swarm of exploding autonomous drones.
Quite a bit more than you would think. Remember, besides the potential for a drone carrier, these drones wouldn’t need power for the flight back.
A non-rechargable battery can also have significantly more capacity. A suicide drone likely doesn’t need to be recharged.
Like a Bat Bomb.
You’re thinking of kamikaze finches and I’m thinking of Terminators.
I’ve already watched dozens of Russians die like this.
But that exist already
