Fact stands that the future of the USAF is in unmanned flight, not in manned flight. We can fill the skies with agile, almost invisible, and deadly UAVs for the price a single F-22.Amen!...it is happening as we speak. We are lightyears away from that 2000 happening of the Predator successfully launching a Hellfire missle.
We're a couple miles down the road, not lightyears. There isn't a single UAV that can stand up to a modern manned jet fighter in air-to-air combat right now.
