If they do, the advantage of having a 60-year-old manually aimed gun is that each tank will only require one round each. It will probably be obliterated before it can fire a second!

I don't understand this stuff really. Can't shoot it down but you can dump fuel on it and due to incompetence of a pilot in charge of a killing machine collide with it so the drone becomes unviable and has to be downed. Did they not shoot it down because it would be seen as an act of aggression? Or is a fighter jet not able to target a drone accurately. (But is crashing into the drone really a competent tactic?)
