The emitter is 10 miles away and your drones each have a range of 5 miles. How many drones do you need to launch for one of them to miraculously double it's operating range in order to fly the 10 miles? I think I missed this lesson in algebra.

Your drones, but what about the guy farther down the line who might be closer or have longer range drones.

The guy farther down the line got shot by a DShK because he forgot the reason drones are so effective is that the controller is out of range of other weapon systems.
