* ''Literature/Area51'': ''Area 51: Excalibur'' has many examples.
** The Airlia have humans who they've {{brainwashed}} into serving them use suicide attacks against their enemies multiple times, seeing them as easily expendable (once a high-profile MurderSuicide as well), using pilots to make kamikaze runs against US ships.
** ** An Israeli Orthodox Jew deliberately crashes the helicopter he's flying on the Ark of the Covenant when it's displayed in Jerusalem, due to having heard it was made by aliens, not God (presumably making this sacrilege by his faith).
** Facing the North Korean/Chinese forces' invasion of South Korea, a defending US Army general personally flies a tactical nuke out and sets it off, making to attempt to escape, which slows the advance.
** A Taiwanese general later detonates a nuke while hidden inside a foxhole as a contingent of the invading Chinese march overhead, killing them all with him.
** The CAG for the remaining US Pacific fleet also does a kamikaze attack on the ''Washington'', which has been taken over by the nanovirus.

* In ''Film/TheGodfatherPartII'', while Michael Corleone is visiting {{UsefulNotes/Cuba}} during the Cuban Revolution, he witnesses a communist guerrilla blowing up both himself and a few government soldiers with a hand grenade.

* The first episode of ''[[Creator/ZapDramatic Ambition]]'' features a [[WesternTerrorists Western]] suicide bomber with elements of PapaWolf.
* According to ''[[LetsPlay/{{Dream}} Dream's]]'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oySp75huAp8 explanation video of the Minecraft Manhunt grand finale,]] [[spoiler:Sapnap was trying to use the bed to explode Dream before he could kill the dragon, but instead, he exploded himself and Dream got the achievement.]]
* The drones in Frozen Flame by ''LetsPlay/{{Mahu}}'' use this tactic. Controlled from afar, they mindlessly charge into the enemy force, exploding violently once they are destroyed. After the last drone explodes, the real army follows the attack, taking care of whatever enemy is still alive.

* Subverted in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries''. Charlie Collins, TheEveryman who winds up being terrorized by ComicBook/TheJoker, invokes TheDogBitesBack by threatening Joker with this and taking advantage of his fear of [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou not being able to kill or be killed by Batman]].

* In ''VideoGame/FZeroGX'', if your machine loses all of its energy and hits a wall or a rival machine, there's a small bit of time where your machine is still considered alive before it breaks down and is considered out of the race. If the machine crosses the finish line while in this state, the finish still counts. Because of the physics associated with broken down machines, on some tracks it's actually significantly more beneficial to purposely crash your machine out and let it fly towards the finish line way faster than you'd be able to while it's alive. For a particularly notable example, on the track Port Town Aero Dive, if you crash out on the last lap at a very specific part of the turn following the gigantic dive section, [[https://youtu.be/_ETXkfaGwPs?si=EcdvG1eM1y3r4JY- you can essentially skip half the track watching your broken machine fling to the finish.]]

* The ''VideoGame/GarrysMo''d game mode 'VideoGame/TroubleInTerroristTown'' has a Traitor weapon called the Jihad bomb, which is basically a C4 that blows up in your hands with a 5 second warning to everyone around you before you explode, taking you and everyone in a large radius. The weapon isn't on all servers due to how [[GameBreaker overpowered it is]] by using it on a crowd of players or in a small room. While you die with it, you can usually take nearly 5 lives with you, which is difficult to do over one round.
