The BUFF laughs at the pansy C-17 (that C-17 looked to be a bit weak on power at take off of maybe the pilot sucks)

A really good looking Mi-24.

In theory at least from a military standpoint any vehicle that is not operated by a pilot inside it and performs some function is a drone
some are controlled by a human else where but are still controlled as if inside the vehicle as in a Predator or Reaper others are controlled more like
an RC unit I know that the US Marine have a little drone that is thrown into the air and then fly just like an RC plane.And you also have automated drones
