Japanese Special Attack Units

During World War II, Japanese Special Attack Units (特別攻撃隊, tokubetsu kōgeki tai; often abbreviated to 特攻隊 tokkōtai), also called shimbu-tai, were specialized units of the Imperial Japanese Navy and Imperial Japanese Army normally used for suicide missions (specifically, suicide attacks). They included kamikaze aircraft, fukuryu frogmen, and several types of suicide boats and submarines.

Weapons similar in effect to these suicide weapons are used today by modern militaries, though as drones or otherwise automated rather than human-guided. Notable example is loitering munitions, which are popularly known as kamikaze drones.
