I believe the word you're thinking of is actually 'kamikaze'. What is a 'kamikaze'? During World War 2, the Japanese formed a group of men that were to crash their planes into ships carrying supplies for other countries. It was a suicide attack mission. They are remembered as 'kamikazes'.
Kamikaze pilots were not expected to return from what was a suicidal attack on the enemy.Most Kamikaze pilots had little training, nor flew decent aeroplanes.
Kamikaze - meaning Divine Wind.
During WW2 the Japanese military code meant that it was an honor to die for your country. This was why Japanese pilots or Kamikaze pilots were willing to commit suicide by a military air attack.
the report by the naval board of inquiry about the explosion was used to blame Spain for the attack
Kamikaze.
Japan
The first Kamikaze attack of the war begun on October 25, 1944. It was during the battle of leyte gulf when the japanese deployed kamikaze suicide bombers against american warships for the first time.
The Kamikaze attack tactic was suggested by vice-Admiral Onishi of the Japanese Navy, as he was assigned to command air attacks against huge American invasion fleet off the Philippines.
The technique of the kamikaze was to crash their plane into their target. So they were on suicide missions. This technique was very successful in the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor.
The first kamikaze attack happen on December 7, 1941, Pearl Harbor.
they used methods that were unorthodox to the American soldierslike kamikaze They were also the only ones to attack American soil.

The goal of Japanese Kamikaze suicide pilots was to crash their planes (often filled with explosives and gasoline) into American ships in attempts to cause as much damage as possible. Kamikaze strategy had some benefits opposed to the conventional dropping of bombs or torpedoes. Kamikaze attacks had a higher success rate, and could deliver a larger explosive payload. A successful kamikaze attack against a small force of ships could hamper that force's operational capabilities. However, by 1945, the US fleet was large enough that kamikaze attacks, even successful ones, generally had little effect on fleets' overall operational capabilities.
Well Kamikazes were Japanese air force pilots who drove their air plains into their target with a bomb rigged to explode on contact killing themselves like a suicide bomber so a kamikaze tactic is practically suicide but i think it would be with a vehicle actually the last kamikaze attack i remember was the planes that flown into the towers on 9/11
The first Kamikaze attacks were employed at the Battle for Leyte Gulf. It should be noted that this was the first time that planned suicide attacks had been made against US shipping. Individual pilots prior to this time may have employed this tactic.
