Thanks for asking, I've wondered the same thing and seen it in three places now. Unless we're getting into the range of AI vs. Human managed flights? In the Ukraine conflict, there may have been a hybrid of such - forward control UAV managing smaller squad of AI drones. I think we're getting into Skynet & T1000 unit range.
What the hell is a “manned drone”?
Either it is a remotely piloted vehicle (RPV - drone) or it is an aircraft.
