Our drones are notoriously vulnerable.  Many of them have been shot down by brokedick insurgents using small arms from the 70's.  Often enough, captured intact - and ofc..then..leading to knock offs from hostiles regimes.

That’s because historically drones have been used for missions where the risk of shoot down is considered high.   Better lose a drone than deal with a dead or captured pilot.
