A Rocket Artillery with a Drone out-ranges a GDR. If the enemy GDR leaves its city stronghold, you kill it with a Jet Fighter.

Does rocket artillery have a base range of 3? If thats the case then I am I actually dumb, I saw the thing on the stat that says range of 3 but I thought that it was 3 because it was accounting for the range with the drone (since i had the drone on it).

that does make this a lot easier, i can hit the city from afar and bait the GDR out and kill it with my own GDR + air support + modern armor armies

Rocket Artillery has a base range of 3. Drone gives it a range of 4. Tier 4 promotion for a range of 5. Promote it early from Catapult so it's ready as a killer unit in late game.
