Sky Knight

The Sky Knight is an Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle (UCAV), designed to operate from modern Aircraft Carriers. 
== Game unit ==
===Aircraft Carrier===
Their unmanned design, coupled with the automated production facilities aboard the Carrier, lowers the amount of crew needed to operate the ship, as well as the overall size of it, to feasible limits.
When not in use, the Sky Knights are constantly monitored below deck. The Sky Knights are launched in squadrons of five and release a single 500lb bomb upon reaching a target. The drones are quick and easy to replace if destroyed; and Captains can use their expendable nature to draw AA fire away from more expensive manned aircraft flying in the same airspace.
To prevent such an onslaught from these 'tiny terrors' it's best to dispatch them with focused AA fire. To nullify the threat at least 4 AA defenses.
Sky Knights mid-flight automatically crash if the Aircraft Carrier is frozen, paralized, blacked out, psychokinetically lifted, or simply destroyed.
===Hammer Tank===
If a Hammer Tank successfully destroys an Aircraft Carrier with the Leech Beam, it will obtain one Sky Night as a weapon. Unlike those of an Aircraft Carrier, this Sky Night hovers over the tank and never needs to land to refuel or reload its weapon.
The drone is permanently lost if it is shot down, but Hammer Tank can use the Leech Beam to obtain another weapon again. In Uprising, the weapon cannot be replaced if lost.
