If it's far enough in enemy territory that the operator has to be behind enemy lines that means you can't reach where you are from friendly territory, which would mean you couldn't resupply or communicate.
A game about a guy flying a drone with zero intelligence and 2 grenades would be pretty short lived.
The entire point of these drones is you can do asymmetrical warfare where you're not taking enemies on directly but the trade off is that you're in far less danger.
Why not be close to them not in enemy territory.
