This argument is silly. The next step after stealth is clearly unmanned. To suggest that we need crappy piloted 4.5G fighters to save on costs is nuts. Ever

This argument is silly. The next step after stealth is clearly unmanned. To suggest that we need crappy piloted 4.5G fighters to save on costs is nuts. Everyone knows the future is unmanned drones that can takeout SAM sites. Unmanned also solves the cost problem, as about 70% of the cost is excessive engineering, maintenance, and manufacturing techniques to keep the pilot alive.
