Can’t afford not too.
Like Windows ME ? LOL
“ To maintain air dominance, the U.S. must…”
Become a serious country again?
It is becoming evident that air superiority is going to be achieved through drones.
I am not happy with the “all the eggs in one basket” approach.
I’d like them to spend the same amount of money working toward world peace. Somehow. Just dreaming.
If you want peace prepare for war!
“Can’t afford not too.”
Tell them to pay with that 6.5 trillion that disappeared at the DOD.
“The F-47 is envisioned not just as a faster, stealthier fighter, but as a “quarterback” for the entire battlespace, orchestrating drones, cyber operations, and other assets.”
The coordination should not be done in an airplane that can get shot down.
A manned airplane is simply for delivering bombs and missiles that can’t get intelligently targeted by other means.
Correct.
Speaking from my phone here but why not directed messages from space satellites?
Do what it takes to fix the F-35.
The AI industry needs high computing power, comparatively low electrical power equipment. It might be repurposed fairly easily.
That’s the truth of it.
Insomuch as national security permits, I’d like to know what is wrong with the F-35?
Exactly. Subtract the cost of providing for an onboard human pilot, and you can probably afford 4x the number of craft/drones.
I want an A-10 drone version. Half the size and cost, but with all the same weapons capability.
US is still going to have boots on the ground all over the world. They need close air support.
At half the size, the aicraft would not be able to carry the A-10’s 30mm cannon.
It was designed and built for air warfare in Europe. It doesn’t have the legs for a Pacific war, where unrefueled ranges of 1000+ miles are needed.

It’s far cheaper than losing a war.
We’re working on that.
