God, that page is fucking unreadable.

Video that covers the top half of the screen, a giant swipe button, back button hijacking, giant interstitial ads that have gotten through my blockers, more shit that pops up on the bottom.

What horrible fuck.

Agreed, the arrow swiping crap keeps making me go to random articles.

'Kamikaze drone' is either a tautology or not.

I mean obviously it self destructs on impact, but nearly all drones do that.

But the thing that made the kamikaze attacks so infamous is that they were piloted by humans, which this clearly isn't.

So it would make sense just to not use the word.
