Why the fuck would you be deep behind enemy lines that's literally the entire point of unmanned vehicles is you don't have to do that

Also love to "recover goods" by dropping incendiary grenades on them

these are tiny drones like in the graphic. Not predator drones. you still have to be close to them.

Why not be close to them not in enemy territory.

If it's far enough in enemy territory that the operator has to be behind enemy lines that means you can't reach where you are from friendly territory, which would mean you couldn't resupply or communicate.

A game about a guy flying a drone with zero intelligence and 2 grenades would be pretty short lived.

The entire point of these drones is you can do asymmetrical warfare where you're not taking enemies on directly but the trade off is that you're in far less danger.
