Once someone starts producing a cheap drone ("missile") that can loiter and out-maneuver any human pilot if only because there's not a human on board limiting acceleration, what does the civilized world do for air superiority? It doesn't seem very many years away.
- trhway 6y agoIn the current Azerbaijan/Armenia war the Turkish drones own the skies consistently winning over the USSR/Russia made air defenses thus continuing the winning streak that started in Syria and Libya. (We haven't yet seen how they would do against manned planes there as Turkish F-16s have so far successfully been taking care about the Armenian planes there) > out-maneuver any human pilot for the last 30-40 years modern air combat usually consists of F-16/15 shooting down a USSR/Russia made plane using long range missile. I don't see any issues for the drones to carry on the tradition.
