What has been explained to me is that the F-35 is intended to act as a queen bee while multiple drones are able to take orders from it.

But isn't that the role of the F-22 to an AWACS? Or are you saying the F-35 acts as an AWACS to true drones, like the Predator?

Correct. This is the plan.

It's RADAR is unique in that it also acts as a transceiver to control said drones and receive information from them too.

Force multiplication built in.
