Predators are not stealthy. They are vulnerable to AAM and SAM missiles, unlike Raptors. So far, UAVs have only been introduced into theaters where (for the most part) we've enjoyed total air supremacy. The Raptors are what gives us that air supremacy primarily by destroying the enemy radar installations and tactical aircraft.
Zoomie kool aid. Used to hear that ad nauseum about the F-117 too.

Raptors have yet to be deployed to a combat theater but if and when they are they'll be accompanied by Prowlers providing SEAD.
Exactly.. Predators backed up by F-18s/A10's.. to destroy the Sam sites(if used).. The Norks will get cleaned out -OR- they will chicken out.. Win-Win the way I see it..
Theater neutron nukes should not be unavailable..
