I don't believe anyone could have survived the blast.
If the drones carried a variety of rockets they could have easily done the job with a smaller one with less collateral damage.
Incidentally, the pilot's headset looked exactly like my hearing protector.
You did not pay attention to the movie.
Very early we are told the drone has only two rockets left. They are named, I think they are Hellfires. There is no "variety of rockets." Only one variety. We are also shown the drone with one missile left on the left wing. The implication is the right wing also has one missile.
The other thing you forget is they are targeting a house that has explosives. No matter how careful they are, it is still a possibility the Hellfires are causing those explosive suicide vest to detonate as a result of their explosion.
Just a point of information. You call them rockets. Drones do not carry rockets. They carry missiles. Rockets are unguided. Missiles while they fly seemingly like rockets, they are not. Missiles are guided. By TV and controlled by someone. In some cases, missiles leave a cable that is used to control them. Or laser designated. Or heat designated, they pick up the heat.
Rockets fly and you cannot guide them.
Thank you, Luis, for enlightening me.
