I knew the AF would do this when the AMRAAMs didn't work during the movie "Independence Day" ;)

Seriously. It's good that something besides airborne sportcars are getting some upgrades.

Pilotless air frames can pull many more “G’s” than conventional piloted airframes.. and with amraam and newer missles can be even more dangerous in air combat.. and backed up by piloted standoff support..

Can make for much newer air superiority tactics.. The next “war” will be quite a bruhaha..
