...probably so, but AIM-9 “Sidewinder” missiles are heat-seaking weapons, so I don’t know if a drone would put out enough heat for the AIM-9’s heat-seeker head to guide properly; and to use an AIM-120 AAMRAM against a drone would appear to be very unlikely....who knows....? maybe when that drone saw it was being tracked by that F-15 it go so scared s**tless that it self-destructed.....
