BOMBER RE-ARM PAD for DRONES

Have the ability to re-arm bombers and take off again without losing the drones.  
Drones would Taxi on the ground with the lead plane to a re-arm pad and reload, and Taxi out to the runway to take off again as long as they landed safely and are operational.

I think that when you rearm a bomber w/drones, the drones get rearmed, but do not take back off.

I like this idea.

It might be as easy as having the drones land as-is, let the lead plane taxi to the hotpad, rearm, and taxi BACK to the end of the runway with the drones. You pull up so that you're touching the drones, throttle back for 20 seconds (kind of like hotpad) and then a message says "Drones are ready for takeoff" and when you roll down the runway they follow as if taking off for the first time.

Let me ask you guys this, being that I never fly fighters, does the re'arm pad also fix dings the fighter gets when pinged a few times? Or is it just rearm and refuel?
