Pressed for information on destructive drone (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ironed

'pressed' is the definition.
(ironing is a kind of pressing)

'information on destructive drone' is the wordplay.
'information' becomes 'i' (common abbreviation for information).
'on' says to put letters next to each other (in a down clue, letters appear on others).
'destructive' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'drone' is an anagram of 'roned'.
'i'+'roned'='IRONED'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ironed that I've seen before include "Smoothed cloth with flatbased implement" , "flattened" , "prepared for 23 [WARDROBE] ?" , "Smoothed with domestic device" , "Removed creases" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
