"If flying military drones has told me something it is that the drones suffer plenty of Gs at landing and while doing manouvers..."

But flying military drones didn't teach you that an endurance drone rarely lands, never, ever performs high-G manoeuvres and is designed to stay on-station at 60-70,000 ft where flight conditions are rarely turbulent for months at a time.
