Why don't we use the unmanned drones?

Drones aren't very good at separating good guys from bad guys. As a matter
of principle, I am opposed to using robots to kill people. Even pirates.



I think they would do just fine to at least spot the bad guys. As someone
else said, all you have to do is observe a ratty fishing boat with
speedboats in attendance. Let the Navy take it from there.

Observation drones are small and cheap, but don't carry weapons.

ARMED UAVs are a different thing entirely - neither small nor cheap!
