It’s becoming more interesting what technical devices are incorporated into these systems. While the unit is unmanned and thus less problematic when shot down as it relates to loss of life, the technology lost might be quite significant.

The technology lost to the enemy? It's manned, they could destroy it. Or, there would be a self-destruct button upon impact?

Not much left after a 60,000 foot drop and a self detonator. The other thing you can have when there is not life aboard.
