Escalation. Yep that’s the way it started. We’d send up a scout plane for recon, they’d send up a plane with a guy and a gun to shoot it down. Then we’d send up planes to shoot at the other guy in a plane with a gun and thus was the birth of the fighter aircraft.

Fighter drones may actually come about quicker in the civilian world than the military one. Who knows.
