The best way to do this would be totally black. Never admit we did
anything. Let the pirates think Allah blew up their boat.
There is no reason they ever have to see the drone that tracked them
or the drone that fired the Hellfire missile

Drones might be good to spot, but an Apache 30mm rounds might be cheaper
than missiles.

If you are involving a pilot, an A10 is probably a better choice. Same
gun but you also have the capability for a lot of wing mounted
ordinance and you have a lot of range. They can also operate out of
primitive air fields like you might have in Africa or south Asia.
We have a buttload of them sitting out in the desert.

I'd be glad to take a six-week course in how to fly one!
