But if one looks at the X-47B you can see the potential...2,100 NM range, in-flight refueling and a weapons bay for up to 4,500lbs of ordnance.
Unmanned and with the same controlability of the little guys.
And stealth.
You can probably put 8-12 AIM-120 AMRAAM's in the bay. On a rotary dispenser.
When developed, each drone could probably carry a couple of small missiles. With each plane, it could effectively be fully loaded and have many dozens of extra missiles to boot under the pilot’s control.
