The kamikaze and drone emerged simultaneously as opposed tactics

Evidence

Contrary to the evolutionist schema that Benjamin, in truth, only suggested, the better to subvert it, the kamikaze and the drone—the weapon of sacrifice and the weapon of self-preservation—did not succeed each other chronologically, one following from the other as history follows from prehistory, On the contrary, they emerged together, as two opposed but historically simultaneous tactics. — Grégoire Chamayou, A Theory of the Drone, 313 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
