It must be horrific, waiting for the whine of the drone and never being safe from the observation drones overhead.
At least in the more recent wars one might feel safer behind the front line.
Look up the Soviet 'Night Witches' of WW2.
The Commissars put the female pilots in the worst planes. But the ladies figured out a battle plan. Their tiny biplanes could glide for miles; so they'd wait for nightfall, load up with bombs, and fly as high as possible. Then they'd silently glide over the German lines.
That's terrifying. Sounds like it'd make a good film though
Garth Ennis did a pretty good graphic novel about them.

In Robert Evan’s original run of It Could Happen Here, he said that when he was imbedded in Syria and Iraq that he saw some of the toughest and scariest people he’s ever met go white as a sheet at the sound of a commercial drone overhead
