This is a fair take. Those marine drones are doing amazing work.

Somewhere in a timeline with an alternative timeline in Imperial Japan, there's a guy going "what if we didn't have to put pilots in our flying bombs...". And a bean counter is figuring out if that'll save money.

Nah, boomers here'd be like "That's unfair to us who did it without drones!"

That was actually being developed around that time, just not by the Japanese from what I am aware of: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Aphrodite

Besides what is in that link, I believe there were several other similar things going on between the USAF(or equiv. I don't think the USAF was formed at the time.) and the RAF.
