Nice. Thanks for posting. I think the near future(next twenty years) will usher in a pilotless Air Force.
But can they be run by a submarine under the ice?

Let’s see a robot trying to find one of those now.
We’ll have to send him back to 1984.
I’ll betcha a two-seater configuration is doable in the non-VTOL birds.
