I mean good job piloting and all, but what is the point of targeting a fleeing individual like this? It feels a bit pointless when resources are limited and a drone could do more damage to a bigger vehicle for example.

Motorcycle troops are pretty universally advanced scouts. Decent chance they launched the drone attack after this scout was spotted gathering information they couldn't afford to lose. I'm not saying this is a glorious kill, as there's no such thing, but letting an advanced scout get away is about one of the most dangerous things you can do. Which is also... Really sad because advanced scouts are also generally individually some of the least dangerous troops. Its part of why comic book artist Jack Kirby wrote the way he did: he was an advanced scout and experienced fist hand that it's one of the most dangerous jobs there is with some of the highest consequences for success and failure

you assume they are fleeing when they could be en-route to the front.

What a terrible place to grow flowers. I hope Babushka enjoys asphalt.

Future terrorist attacks are going to suck ass
