All of the one way attack drones are doing the same for me.

Maybe we need to bring back Spitfires to shoot them down, or flip them over with their wings.

I remember many years ago seeing a Tutor in CAF livery with the full weapons suite laid out like for a kit inspection - was I. believe, to be based off the BAC Strikemaster or the Cessna A-37 Dragonfly...or they were based off the Tutor .

The layout I saw had rocket pods and I want to say there was a gun pod...the Strikemaster has/had 7.62mm GPMG's internal and could put gun pods on the hardpoints. I remember reading an account of how those guns helped save an SAS detatchment in a little town in Oman in the 70's.
