What is technically the difference between a suicide UAV and a missile? Just speed? Or does it need to have a rocket engine to be a "missile"?

Actually, I guess maybe suicide drones are a subset of missiles.

Yeah, basically a cheap cruise missile. The V-1 flying bomb used in WW2 is classified likewise.

Edit: it seems missiles must be jet or rocket powered, definitionally.

It's not a firm thing, but generally "missiles" are understood to be entirely autonomous, where "drones" are operated under some level of human control. But indeed, the distinction is increasingly squishy in the modern world.

missiles have guidance systems but they don't need to be entirely autonomous. For example, the Spike NLOS is a TV guided missile - the operator sees the view from the nose and aims it for greater precision against unmarked targets at range.

I think it technically counts as a missile, but also fits the categories of typical UAVs so there's some ambiguity as to what the "correct" name is.
