whats the difference between a drone with explosives and a cruise missile

basically propulsion

$10k cheap drone: gas engine propeller, low payload, low speed
$100k fancy drone: turboprop, medium payload, medium speed
$1m cruise missile: jet engine, medium payload, high speed
$10m ballistic missile: rocket engine, medium-high payload, very high speed

(costs are very approximate, but shows the order of magnitude differences)

also why would scrambling GPS even matter if the buildings are in the same coordinates just put in the coordinates and go on autopilot. its not like the military base is gonna move and they probably already got the coordinates before the war.

The thing about GPS is it shows you where you are, not just where other stuff is. This allows you to align where you are with where other stuff is and blow up as appropriate. This is important in missle/drone navigation.

huh while we got caught up in all this Hamas formally gave its response to the american truce offer on the negotiations, the answer is no and gently caress you.

======

Hamas hands over truce response
Hamas has released a statement in which it says it has handed over its response to the ceasefire proposal it received last Monday to mediators in Egypt and Qatar.

It said it stood by its demands for:

A permanent ceasefire.

The withdrawal of the Israeli army from the entire Gaza Strip.

The return of displaced Palestinians to their areas and places of residence.

An increase in the entry of relief and aid to the enclave.

The start of reconstruction in the Gaza Strip.

The group also affirmed its “readiness to conclude a deal and “a serious and real exchange of prisoners between the two parties”.

I'll add to this:

You can launch a drone from a runway or catapult.

Cruise missiles generally have a rocket stage that gets it up to speed for the air breathing jet engine to kick in and fly a low, flat trajectory.

Ballistic missiles follow a ballistic trajectory where they go up in an arc and then come back down.

note that all this naming is kinda bullshit. “loitering munition” is the most “formal” name for the types of drone you’re referring to. the modern version dates to the 80s and there have been “suicide drones” since WWII.

I think its being officially justified as a response to the April 1st bombing of the Iranian embassy in Syria, but Israel has a long, long history of blowing Iranian poo poo up and getting away with it. Destroying Israel is, ultimately, self defense for Iran

Its also a joke about Israel genociding the Palestinians as 'self defense'
