What was the point in that comment? Are you suggesting we have to look at every target, decide it's monetary value and see if the asset we are using is more expensive before we decide to engage it? It is what that target could have achieved in it's mission. Much the same as using very expensive smart bombs to take out a very old tank on the battlefield. I've no idea what the drone was doing - recce or had a warhead or whatever but it needed taking out and so it was.
