Not so fast on the drones -- note that the image of "prepare to take flight" showed an airship*, not a drone, not an aircraft, not a copter. 'nuff said.
* that is, a lighter-than-air vessel

That looks to me like a submarine with jet nacelles.
The front end is a WWII-era submarine with oversize dive planes, the middle has a post-WWII body (cylindrical), the jet nacelles and a slightly undersize conning tower, and the rear has a shrouded propeller and a horizontal stabilizer rather like an aeroplane (but shorter and longer). The porthole midway between the dive planes and the conning tower and the windows in the conning tower are rather amusing.
