Looks like this UAV could clean up the lesser technology drones. They don't mention that it has gun, only an explosive kamikaze warhead. Discharging a gun can be problematic as the kick can destabilize the aircraft, but they really should get one on there.

It would be interesting to see if AI or any other autonomous control can be programmed to handle an aerial dogfight with other drones, because that's what it's going to come down to sooner or later.
