I believe drones are actually projected to be smaller and MUCH cheaper. We seem to be heading toward a plane with 1-2 people plus an AI that will cost $300M paired with 5-10 drones each costing around $30M. A real pilot nearby also reduces the efficiency of jamming to a large degree. The idea is that smaller drones are harder to see on radar, they cost less, and they require many more missiles to fully intercept than one large drone.
