Does the Indian Air force have predator drones? If so I would have just taken the whole convoy out!

No, they don't, and I failed to adequately convey my skepticism in my earlier remark.

the IAF(& the other services) have been operating a lot of Israeli UAVs like the Searcher(deployed in the region) & the Heron long endurance system.It's not confirmed whether any are armed,though in 2002,Debka did report that India had been given systems which made it the only control to be able to fire missiles from it's Israeli drones(probably Russian or Israeli anti-tank weapons).The problem with using any force is the fact that the border regions(India/Pakistan & India/China) are disputed & demarcation is easier said than done-so any use of force must be within one's own territory.
