Schnuff: An emerging technology that the USA uses on regular basis for bombing in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Strijkbout: Reconaissancedrones have been used as early as the Vietnam war and these again were developed from target drones which have been used in the early 60's.
What I was trying to say was that drones have far more potential than they're used for, even that stealthtank can theoretically be converted to a drone.
Schnuff: For jamming their signal, well today they can fly for around 30+ hours with a radius of 2-3000 km, they are relative small and hard to find if they fly under the radar add that there is a working stealth system for flying objects.....how big is the chance to jam them if you don't want to fry your own systems?
Strijkbout: Jamming can go a long way, from putting a lot of radiowaves into the air to outright taking out the communication satelite if possible and then there can also be advancement in EMP weapons in the future.
For reconnaisance purposes you generally want to fly at a fairly high altitude, you can't get a good picture when you're close to the ground.
Also I think those drones more or less fly themselves anyway and only get general input by its pilots on the other side of the planet, there will probably be a significant amount of lag from a satelite connection.
Don't worry, I got it covered.
ps. That's not me. I got that pic off Google.
