Bruce lee would win a street fight easily. A boxing match ? Mike tyson will probably be better at. It doesn't have to be theoretical at all. The air force can just easily have mock battles v drones to evaluate performance if they wanted to. The speed of autonomous avaition navigation development is far exceeding the speed of innovation in traditional nth generation fighter planes. Inherently the human will always be slower. The drone will have higher manuverbilty has high g will not be a factor. Imprvoing the algorithms to match or improve human response will happen sooner or later (it is not hard AGI category of problem). The drones are cheaper and easier to manufacture then fighter planes or pilots trained for this kind of high end aircraft. AFAIK the electronic warfare capabilities of f35 are not designed towards drones. Even then performance against cluster of drones is different matter altogether.
