Seems like an odd distinction to make between ‘drone with camera and munitions strapped to it’ and ‘drone with camera and munitions dropped from it’ such that the latter does not count towards their statistics for FPV drones.

I get that they’re a different category of drone, and will usually fly very differently, and be used very differently. But to me they’re part of the same category of new innovations in weapons.
