IRAN has built "suicide" drones capable of attacking US naval ships and forcing them to leave Gulf waters, said a Revolutionary Guards commander quoted by the semi-official news agency Mehr.
"We have built birds without passengers (drones) that can carry out suicide operations on the US Navy, at any depth if necessary, to make them leave the region in disgrace," said Ali Shoushtari, deputy commander of the Guards' land forces.

If nobody 'martyrs' themselves, it's not a suicide drone. Maybe they'll have to put this one on hold while they figure that out.

I wonder if there are any strategic targets in Tehran that would prove attractive to rockets launched from planes.

Suicide drones... Oh, yeah? Well, we've got suicide ICBMs.

That's what I was thinking but then I decided that the operators probably blew themselves up to celebrate a successful flight.

Uh,...... didn't the Japanese try that in WWII without any success??
Another question if they are drones and drones are by definition unmanned, how can they be suicide or are they gonna put a "DEE-TE-DEE" on it just for a one way ride to hell?

perhaps the warships might fly some of their "rocket powered" unmanned drones back leaving the mullahs to leave in disgrace....

People who underestimate Iran's littoral capabilities are making a mistake. We in Israel learned this lesson the hard way. Iran has excellent anti-ship missilery.

If nobody 'martyrs' themselves, it's not a suicide drone. And if they do, its a "homicide" drone.
