Launch and landing does not necessarily need to happen in the same platform. It could be reasonable to have a delivery mechanism for drones that's close to where the action might be (so that the drones can reach the target quickly) but the surviving drones have to go way back somewhere else to land and be refurbished/refueled/rearmed for another mission.
