Real world UAVs are not capable of radical evasive manuvers for the most part. Almost all of them are designed for relatively low speed operation and are limited to very low bank angles.

None that I know of are capable of 'evasive' manuvers on their own as a result of hostile fire. That would require some sort of sensor to detect, classify and track incoming fire and then modify it's route accordingly. That may be available on the UCAVs but UAVs require pilot intervention for that sort of thing.
