Ah yes. The “Battlestar Galactica” scenario: enemy hackers suddenly turn YOUR fighter squadrons into THEIR fighter squadrons.

You have some bizarre personality issues. Asking for evidence — not proof, as you incorrectly assert — is standard and expected behavior here and to not do so is irresponsible.

I have no bias against remotely-piloted or autonomous aircraft operations. Your implication that I do is another thing your delusional tendencies caused you to imagine.

Missiles pull up to 40G

Missiles are much faster than planes and the G forces are proportional to speed. Even so, that number seems high.

In any case, the important metric is turn radius. To kill something that's turning, you have to make a shorter turn.
