“ It is a reusable drone with a combat radius of 30nm. Here’s a picture.”
**********************************************************

A nanometer (nm) is one billionth of a meter so I’m assuming the “30nm” is a typo of some sort. What is the actual range of that drone? Thanks.

For those among us who are not Americans, nm is the abbreviation for Nautical Miles. A nautical mile is "a unit of length used in air, marine, and space navigation" and is about 1.8 kilometers.

In countries that use miles instead of kilometers nautical miles are used, and for aviation they are the units used to define distance.
