Unmanned satelites are limited in the amount of time they actually spend over a target. Usually they make one or two passes over the same part of the terrain only once or twice a day. A UAV can loiter over the same few square feet for hours. Add a Hellfire to that loiter time and ???????? (A heck of a deer rifle for logos - grin)
