They've been using drones for a while now, including MQ-9s, but strictly for recon and target designation.
Six Reapers with Hellfires will be delivered by 2019, while the existing 6 will be upgraded by 2020, possibly with French/European ordinance.

Just arming them all with Hellfires seems easier desu. I'm not really sure what Euro missile they could fire from it, aside from Brimstone which isn't done with integration yet. Also it's British, which may be an issue right now.

Brimstone is from MBDA and the french and brit parts of MBDA are now one single company. So not as complicated as you might think.
We often give shit to huge european weapon consortium clusterfucks like Airbus, but MBDA is a prime example it can be done 100% right.
