I think those within the organization that deploy those vehicles or are Navy

The F/A-18  Hornets, F/A-22 Raptors are well, and good, but that's old
technology.
The folks in charge of the MQ-1 predator drones might sit closer to the guys
worried about the IP addresses.

And automated drone strikes can always be blamed on a malfunction caused by
the hijacking


I would speculate they are probably capable of targetting routers improperly
using their subnet, if the right folks feel it's necessary,  and the
routers are located
in the right country.


I suspect they're more likely to attempt the more civilized
professional things any
other government org would though,  such as calling the hijacker's NOC,
calling upstreams to de-peer the hijacker,  sending out field agents
to have a little
'chat'....
