I make some more Tests. It's not alone a problem with the UAVs, also friendly AI Groups are crazy... if you lost more than 1 or 2 Vehicles (i.e. you fly a chopper and crash or you was shoot down, friendly AI will open the fire at the player. Or you can destroy 2 empty vehicles (own side), AI will open fire at the player...
edit : i make a map for anyone (see attach), who wants to look Destroy one (empty) Chopper and the ai group will fire at you

That's normal AI behaviour, I believe there's an internal score counter and once your score hits a specific negative/low value, the AI considers you enemy.
Killing friendlies is of course wrong and the player is rightfully punished for doing so. Destroying empty vehicles is questionable (a court-martial would be in order here I guess). But crashing an unmanned vehicle shouldn't count as friendly fire at all.
In a similar case the pilot gets blamed for the casualties when a chopper gets shot down. People get auto-kicked from servers because of this.

This behaviour has existed in all the OPF/Arma games. You start with a specific rating, 0 for private, more if you are say, a major.
Killing enemies raise your rating. Destroy friends (or friendly equipment) lowers your rating. Your rating gets low enough and your are no longer BLUFOR or whatever you were before but are instead a Renegade, a faction that everybody is enemies with (including other renegades I think). Killing men lowers your rating a bit, killing vehicles lowers it much more.
If you find threads where people request a civilian hit counter they are sometimes baffled that it stops counting after a couple of civilians. That is because their scripts checks to see whether the killer was, say BLUFOR, and then increment the count. However, after some kills you become renegade so the counter stops for you.
In my missions I always add the following to my init to prevent this issue:

You shouldn't be killed for one accidentally destroyed Greyhawk anymore. This applies only on crashes. When you attack your own vehicle, you are still considered to be a traitor and you are killed by your own units.
