- alanh 11y agoInteresting. Where did you learn this?
- georgeecollins 11y agoThe navy has a much better case for drones. They need to attack at a very long range to avoid land based missiles. They are likely to strike targets that are strategic like airfields or ships, which are easier to identify. Still probably a good idea for carriers to have a mix of manned and unmanned aircraft.
