UAV Drones: Sitting Ducks in the Sky

As stated some time back, UAV drones are no match for manned fighter aircraft, none whatsoever. In fact, the drone terror campaign the US wages from the White House, "you won't see it [drone missile] coming," smirked child killer Obama at a press conference, is a complete joke! Get over it, as drones are absolutely no match for piloted jet fighters or high altitude surface to air missiles.
Successful drone warfare can only be waged against thoroughly backward nations that lack an adequate airforce or with permission from complicit governments.
To date, successful drone warfare has largely been run on propaganda and the complicity of corrupt governments in targeted countries.
Drones are NOT a viable weapon in any REAL adversarial war, which makes one wonder about why it took so long for former Pakistani cricketer, turned gutless politician, to make it known that Drones could easily be shot down!
Perhaps Imran Khan didn't want to end up like Benazir Bhuto with an assassin's bullet in the head, who knows; but reality finally prevailed regarding HIGHLY VULNERABLE drones.
Drones have nevertheless severely compromised Pakistani masculinity as the civilian slaughter by 'precision' drones required mass insurrection or direct intervention at the very least -- the government had no straight leg to stand on and could not have mounted a viable defence; any direct challenge would have been successful.
Imran Khan is a highly westernised glamour boy, who either waited for instructions or asked permission to state publicly what every modern airforce knows!
The staggering and shameful reality for the masses is that the US has been able to deceive the world for so long; drone warfare was/is run on spin and propaganda in much the same way as America runs its pretend economy and 'democratic' elections.
