"Did you see the new MQ 9 Reaper (unmanned)?"

Yes, I have. Imagine the straights between China and Taiwan patrolled by Predator type aircraft armed with ship killers and protected by a cap op Reapers and backed up by F22s and Super Hornets along with fast attack subs with their Harpoon launch capability. Thats not even factoring in the Taiwanese military capability. I for one would not want to be on a troop transport attempting the crossing.

I suspect that the next generation of unmanned drones will be equipped with powerful turbojet engines and be incredibly maneuverable. They will carry a full array of air to air weapons and be highly stealthy.
