The way I read it, the drone was flying on some mission other than whatever the "allies" are doing. So it seems like the case of USA military just doing what it wants and not feeling like it should inform the vassals. Perhaps this is not the first such case, would explain why they didn't just started blasting immediately. "Oh, must be the yanks again"

That's most likely, you'd still think they'd have friendly transponders or something to signal each other.
