>Those people aren't random, they're part of organised military forces and are part of command and control networks.

these C&C networks don't control drones in the air. And most the people in the both fighting forces are mostly random ones really. If they got drones, frequently bought themselves or donated by volunteers - they fly them, if not - then not.

> Troops do reduce certain types of drone activities when they're informed that their own aircraft will be overlying their positions.

I don't know where you heard this. From what i heard - they frequently even can't discern whether this is their drone or an enemy's one.
