      Good luck hitting your target. With the drone even if you miss you can fly it back to safety until there is a new target too. Neither is meant for this type of combat and this case was probably just luck and an opertune target. The drone probably wasn’t launched specifically to take out the aircraft.

        Rocket-propelled drone when?

        … oh god, that’s just the toon gun from Roger Rabbit. It’s a bullet that can stop and ask for directions.

            Missiles are very good at the go go go but not so good at the stop.

            They’ve got one way and it’s not the sort of trick you can repeat.
