Right -- with their own kit which often is not as capable. Something that can fly TERCOM at 600 mph for 900 miles 50' off the ground is very different from sneaking Bayraktar drones into place at 150 mph at a couple of thousand foot altitude for 200 or so miles.
The proposed transfers give them several different enhancements to capability aside from simple throw-weight.
