Why hasn’t there been a large scale killer-drone attack if the technology exists, is inexpensive and easily acquirable?

Talking about small, consumer-level quadcopters flying into people and killing them with a small amount of explosives. This terrifies me.

Because of physics: “large scale” explosives for example weigh quite a lot and require something airplane-, helicopter-, or [truck-sized](https://www.fbi.gov/history/famous-cases/oklahoma-city-bombing) to have enough lift to carry the weight of the bomb.

Airplane-sized drones do exist, but they’re not as inexpensive and easily acquirable as small consumer drones, and more importantly they’re as visible on radar as regular airplanes. Meaning that a country’s military and defense systems would be able to shoot down the “large scale killer drone” if it enters the airspace.
