The upgraded radar and combat systems in these new F-15c's will have the ability for datalinks to control UAVs.
Pair a new F-15c, or F-35 for that matter, with 2-4 UAVs capable of Mach 2+ and 15G, and you have a winning combination.
But, certainly, UAVs will be the majority of air frames in the air by then.
Agree with you about the UAV’s and that this would be a very wise purchase by the Air Force.
The F-15 and F-16 are proven systems we already know.
