land-based drones will be the future of everything, and the key will be survivability, and securing internet and command-and-control operational links after something like an EMP.
Agreed. Either land-based or launched from standoff platforms, and powerfully weaponized.
“...and securing internet and command-and-control operational links after something like an EMP.”
Good point...after an EMP it will be aircraft with mechanically-driven control surfaces with human pilots flying them. The rest of our air force will consist of pilots cursing their way down to the ground in this high tech fighter planes.
Land bases drones 1,500 miles from land LOL. Right....
