Although drones wouldn't be a factor in classic T2k campaigns, the use of turbo-prop training aircraft as light attack platforms certainly could. Ukraine was first to use the YAK-52 as a drone-hunter; it looks like the Russians are following suit- the latter's version features underwing-mounted shotguns.

These aircraft usually don't operate near the frontlines where enemy ADW would make short work of them. However, in a T2kU, c.2000, where AA defenses are much sparser, they might.
