An Islamic State vehicle rolling down the road towards an allied checkpoint finds itself the target of a precision airstrike. It then proceeds to crash directly into said allied checkpoint.
On August 7, 2016, in Sirte, Libya, a group if Islamic State fighters gave a drone driver positive identification, and made themselves a legitimate military target. The drone pilot then decided to literally kill two birds with one stone by dropping precision munition directly onto the vehicle, causing it to swerve directly into a known Islamic State checkpoint.
If the drone pilot for this mission didn't get a medal, I don't know what it would take to get one as a drone pilot.
