I think those within the organization that deploy those vehicles or are Navy SEALs might sit at different lunch tables than the guys worried about IP address collisions. ;-)
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'....
