@oddhack@cstross What, you mean the Hellfire R9X assassination missile that the US has already used multiple times? Though that's a drone-launched antitank missile with the warhead replaced by a bunch of literal swords.
@simonbp@cstross something like that, though the implication in the novel was that it was deployed by an individual as I recall - not a $150K weapon requiring a much more expensive launch platform and a satellite infrastructure. That said, Ukraine has done drone strikes targeting command staff, using much cheaper platforms.
The real fun comes when Nazis can get these off the shelf at Wal-Mart (or Alibaba).
