Nazi’s did this in WW2.

Joe Kennedy Jr died in a WW2 bomber that was about to be handed off to radio controlled flight

Be careful what you disparage. This is Skynet by the drink.

Interesting. It’s been true for awhile that human pilots may actually limit aircraft design that is to say they could make fighters that could exceed what humans can tolerate during turning climbing and diving.

Imelda Marcos left behind a lot of shoes and bras. The Philippine Air Force can use the bras as skycaps. Someday they’ll get the 35’s.

Why would they talk to the logistics systems?

"... proving that multiple pilotless combat missions can be run from a separate aircraft."

Hmmm... Need to know the specific specific "combat" conditions under which this test was run... The peculiar thing about "combat" is that the only possible test of a combat-mission status is actual combat itself...

Title and report should read:
"... proving that multiple pilotless simulated-combat missions can be run from a separate aircraft."
