Default UAVs in the Twilight war

America pioneered UAV use back in Vietnam, flying nearly 3500 missions for the loss of (I think) around 500 birds. I believe the Israelis used them in the early 80's aswell, against lebanon.

America didn't start arming Predators till 2001 but the basic airframe was available in the mid 90's, so I'm wondering as casualties amongst the conventional air forces increased, to what extent would UAVs come into use during the twilight war?

Made a brief list of what UAVs where in service during the last half of the 90's that could be weaponised. I'm pretty sure Germany had some UAVs but don't know details for them. The Soviet UAVs where fairly primitive but capable platforms.

USA: Predator
USSR: TU-141, Pchela
UK: BAE Phoenix
