We've currently spent $26 Billion for 23 F-22 fighters...which our Defense Department now wants to see supplimented or replaced by F/A-22 fighter-bombers or B-22 Bombers because we have no need for a new manned fighter.

That same $26 Billion would buy 1,733 of these unmanned bombers.

That fleet of unmanned bombers could swamp *any* air defense system of the world, especially if backed by manned American fighters and technical support aircraft.

We have the technology today to field thousands of these unmanned bombers. We can fly them in massive swarm waves anywhere on the planet, anytime, day or night, without risking a single bomber pilot.

Swarms of unmanned bombers. It's the wave of the future.

That makes me to think of something even stranger...
fleets of thousands of super super cheap unmanned unarmed drones with intentionally designed high radar echoes as decoys to the manned 'real' attack wave that follows behind them.

One nice EMP would wipe out your fleet, partner. Then you got nothing but harsh language for your attack.
