Those guided missiles while very explosive can be delivered with some shockingly accurate precision. I believe it was a recent Frontline where I heard they could guide these missiles through a car window (no reference sorry) of a moving vehicle.

The high explosive part seems more for insurance than a requirement for a successful hit.

Civilians of course don't have access to this stuff, but if the military has the capability now, it will eventually trickle down.

The other difference is that a predator or reaper drone is the size of a small plane, his plane (or anything like it) is about just a basic remote controlled model, a bigger plane would fly much higher and be much more stable.
