So the governments of Somalia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Yemen and Libya all support US drones being deployed. Where would I go to verify this? Seems a reconnaissance drone was downed over Iran, who have demanded an apology[0]. Perhaps you only mean drones capable of attack.

As you point out, this is for drones capable of attack, not reconnaissance drones.
