This number is nonsense. You can legitimately argue against the ethics of drone warfare (and likely win) without quoting completely false numbers.
Here's the wiki cohort estimate [1]. You can argue that it's off by multiples if you really want, but it's still not even in the same order of magnitude as your fake estimate:
> Taken together, independent estimates from the non-governmental organizations New America and the Bureau of Investigative Journalism suggest that civilians made up between 7.27% to 15.47% of deaths in U.S. drone strikes in Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia from 2009–2016, with a broadly similar rate from 2017–2019.[6] Civilian casualties as a percentage of overall deaths were highest in Yemen and lowest in Somalia.[6]
