> commercially available drones and fuel-expedient (?)

A transcription error that has been carried forward over several sources, apparently. The general undoubtedly said "field-expedient", meaning devices that can be cobbled together in the field. Take a commercial drone from ToysRUs and tape a hand grenade to it, and you have a field-expedient war drone.

Tape a knife to a roomba and you have a weapon of war.
