Imagine a fighter that can withstand 45 G turns. No human aircraft, regardless of its capabilities, will ever approach that turn radius. Imagine a fighter than can fire its guns or launch missiles or fire an energy weapon with extreme accuracy at the exact nanosecond needed. No human fighter will match that fire capability.

Now imagine that the only thing a future politician or bureaucrat needs in order to use such a force against domestic opponents is a bunch of people willing to click some mice.
