WE Branch Fanatic
UAV's will be deployed because they will be better at
various operational tasks than manned combat aircraft.
Sooner or later some manned airforce is going to get
the stuffing kicked out of it by a UAV based force.
I would like to hope that its not ours because we are too
wedded to 'the way we do things now' to realise that
times change.
I'm not saying that manned combat pilots will disappear
overnight but the writing is on the wall.
For what its worth we can be encouraged by the example
of the Navy in 1905 launching Dreadnaught and making
obsolete every other battleship in the world.
