To elaborate, it’s pretty easy to kill someone important if you are willing to be arrested/executed afterwards; the main thing a suicide drone might enable is killing someone important and being able to escape afterwards. This could already be done with dupes, like the 2017 killing of Kim Jong-nam, but I think the nerve agent involved was more expensive than a handmade gun.

Ok, that makes sense, targeted killings from a distance greater than a sniper rifle does seem like a good choice for a drone.
