Not sure I follow this. Aren't these planes primarily taking on roles already done by pilots? As such, they're normally too far away from their target to see anything that personal.

Also, my understanding is we don't bomb civilian targets except by accident (but I could be wrong on this) as the PR is just terrible.

Unmanned fighters might be a different matter. They will be able to withstand far higher G turns than a manned fighter. In fact they could turn out to be the first line of defence. With manned fighters being used when air supremacy is nearly secure.

In this particular case they're talking about strike aircraft (bombers), not fighters.
