Probably not as the drone would need to return home over the same route and that is a bad idea since then the enemy can follow the drone back with their drones.

often these drones are one way they can go farther without needing to save battery to get back and they can more out of the battery by overcharging it.

I was thinking of reeling in whatever cable survives the destruction after impact. It'd be easy enough to QC it after rewinding.

But yeah probably safer to abandon it

The cable is unlikely to be strong enough to reel it in by pulling, not to mentioned it would be tangled around things on the ground (including the cables from other drones). As such I think all attempts to retrieve it will fail because it breaks.
