This reminds me of WWI dogfights. Slow, clumsy, inaccurate. Give it twenty more years and these things will be death machines
20?
I'd say the US has them.
We have flamethrower robo-dogs already.

Wouldn’t be surprised. Probably being a little too slavish to my analogy with the figure
I was thinking for now you need a ptz gun with a separate human controller from the human flight controller.

Well, Pan and Tilt, maybe not Zoom.
But potential modification: have a detachable PT turret, and just use this drone to drop the turret off. Now you've got the ability to do things like cut off roads by dropping one of these aimed behind along them or seal off bunkers by dropping one aimed at its door.
Lol, all guns have zoom
Short of full on AI controlled, I imagine in the near future we'll see AI handling the target tracking and shooting once aquired and a human will authorize the targets.
Once they are completely autonomous with no man in loop, the scalability is limitless. We already see INS on stormshadows where they can fly to their target with complete loss of contact.
Scary stuff when they're unhackable
I think that's partially why even though they can, they still require a human to make the kill decision.
Once the drone makes the decision itself it's a whole other game.
