That is what they are intended for - bombing SAM sites. No pilot really likes that job. If you lose a machine or two doing it, no big deal.
Flexibility is still a problem with drones and always will be though.

100 percent bull
Flexibility is what makes drones great. Thinking otherwise is just the romantic fantasy that is not rooted in any truth at all.
UAVs can operate anywhere. A sub can launch em. A speeder can launch em. They can launch from CVNs they can operate on damaged airfields, they can operate from a road, they can operate from a soda can or operate from a pen.
They will go after sams they will hunt and kill any enemy pilot who dares attack. They will pinpoint any lasers or cannon at anything it can compute for LOTS of targets removed with less ammo.
They will zap RPGs in flight they will decimate any force trying to use cannon fodder. They will hunt enemy navies and their subs.
They will kill drug smuggling, They will locate and track people trying to enter the country unlawfully. They will end the era of police chases. They will monitor disasters.
They will decimate any landing force, They will tear apart enemy forces, etc..
