Horse sh**. Unmanned aircraft will never take the place of piloted craft for air superiority. This is just another screw up on the order of the "gunless" planes in Vietnam which they eventually had to put guns on. Not to mention the fact that Mig17s were out flying our "faster" fighters because they were more agile.

UAVs will be shot out of the skys long before they can destroy any aircraft on the ground. Manned fighters are needed for air superiority and will be for years into the future, if not forever.

People like you have your head squarely up your a** and are blinded by your vision for the roles of these new toys.
