unfortunately we haven’t got any Harriers and it seems risky to put expensive F 35 s up against drones?

the advantage of having aircraft on hand from carriers to defend shipping is stating the b obvious but unfortunately the carrier itself being nearby is a big juicy target.

Q can our F35Bs be fitted with guns and if so so could they safely shoot down drones?
