No word exists for killing without any risk of being killed
Evidence
One speaks of “suicide bombing” or of “suicide assassination,” but what would be the antonym? There is no specific expression to designate those who kill by explosion without ever risking their lives. Not only is it not necessary for them to die in order to kill, but it is impossible for them to be killed as they kill. — Grégoire Chamayou, A Theory of the Drone, 312 (
