I was wondering when the drones would need dog-fighting capable drones to fly cover.
Won't be long....

That’s what the UCAV project was intended to do.

They’re certainly in the works.
I wouldn’t be at all surprised if drones we have now can already fly a Wild Weasel role.
Of course, I rather doubt we have the political will to fire on Pakistani radar and SAM sites. Probably wouldn’t be a good idea at this time anyway.

Dog fight a missile, you have been watching too much star wars. If you could fly at the same speed as a missile you just out run its fuel.
