The problem with that is, Japan was willing to fight on after the first bomb. They tried labelling it a natural disaster at first; if the second bomb wasn’t dropped, they probably wouldn’t have surrendered. Sure they could have waited longer to confirm that, but then there’s more troops dying on both sides while they wait - more unnecessary deaths.

I just think drone strikes with sword bombs are cool as fuck, and I’m tired of pretending that they’re not

I hadn’t seen that video before, but it’s not quite what I’m looking for; it seems that video was made while they were still working on the project, and they were looking for a way to “get it out into the world”. Is there a sort of post-mortem analysis of what the project achieved / is still achieving now?
