How could a human pilot hope to dogfight a remotely piloted drone capable of sustaining 20 G maneuvers? The drones could also be semi or fully autonomous. The remote pilots could be nearby or thousands of miles away. Many ways to provide the remote control links and redundancy no doubt a consideration.
How about a dozen drones?
War will be interesting when they can built 1000's of dronesfor thecpst of one aircraft...no airbase needed, just a semi trailer filled with them..
It will allow 3rd world crap holes to get a better even footing against much larger richer countries...
AI will not have any morals but will be the perfect soldier executing orders without thought or delay...
Many will be fire and forget as it will know what window to fly through and explode and at what time...
