It's nice to have the drones to go up against Advance integrated air defense systems, before the aircraft can pick out all the targets, you can use them to spoop enemy radar Jam any mirror, send back images of the target also get images of Target damage
It's fantastic to keep pilots out of harm's way. I think there will ALWAYS be a need of sharply trained fighter pilots at the ready to fly combat aircraft though. UAV's are effective but are remotely controlled. Any UAV isn't 100% resistant from enemy control interference.
I find it weird how humans are spending time and money to building weapons' systems to fight each other , instead of spending that money towards solving more problematic world problems such as global warming. But I guess if its for protecting , innocent humans beings from others , I'm here for it.
I don't understand why this video included the Northrop Grumman's X-47B since that drone was cancelled and retired in favor of the Boeing's Manta ray tanker drone. Also I don't understand why the Navy made such a stupid decision given that the X-47B was a broadband stealthy recon and strike platform in favor of a much less advanced Manta Ray which is only a tanker with some mild stealthy characteristics. I guess that the new 6th gen platform that is being developed by the Navy, known as the F-XX will control drones in a loyal wing man configuration that will be much more advanced than the Manta ray..
