“By the time they could get a line started up again, air superiority will be handled by drones.”
Not likely. . .we can’t field a 1-G, 25 knot, two-dimensional maneuvering, land-based unmanned tank. . .let alone field a hyper-sonic, multi-axis maneuvering, high-G platform able to survive in a complex A/A environment.
Field unmanned tanks first and then we may think about unmanned fighters.

Unmanned on land is a much harder control problem than unmanned in the air.
