You must have been too high.  I have found if I put gear down too early, I lose my drones.  I wait until the last second now to drop the gear and haven't lost a drone yet.

BTW, what are you doing landing a bomber anyway???  I didn't think ANYONE landed bombers :D :D :D :D

I was taking off with a flight of bombers the other day.  At the end of the runway was a slight hill.  The furthest back drone took off vertically and extended away from me once I started the engines.  He then exploded as he reached the end of the 'rope'.  I wasn't halfway down the runway.

Happened a few times in a row.  Will run film next time I can get it to repeat.

i land bombers lol in the ocean i never have had that problem

never lost em that way though they just go through trees and everything.
