Much less expensive and drone driven rather than manned. Makes sense to me. No man could withstand the G forces capable of being generated by an unmanned aircraft with even greater capabilities than the F-35. Who needs stealth when you can “swarm” and kill. We already have the tactics and the pilots we just need the numbers.

One thing about manned planes: control of the plane cannot be jammed, and cannot be hacked, unlike UAVs.

You bring up a good point, and another just like it would be the necessity of each drone having a unique IP and system address making them individually hackable rather than group hackable. Is there sufficient bandwidth for thousands of planes to be controlled remotely with no or little latency. Time will tell.
