SCMP: What could China do to hit back at a US drone attack?

China’s most effective response to a multiple US drone attack could be to hit back at the unmanned vehicles’ base and destroy the entire fleet, a Chinese military analyst suggested after reports that a recent US drone exercise might have been aimed at China. 

As one of the hi-tech weapons of modern warfare, drones can be difficult to detect because they are small and operate at low altitudes.
