The near-future version of this Le Bourget flight demo will proceed as usual, moving along through the normal 15 minute long slow-motion thrust vector ballet (just as this 2013 version does), except that along about 13:45 minutes into the show an unmanned drone shows up and starts throwing 15 to 20g turns and 720 degree-per-second roll rates, just toying with the human pilot for about a minute, then at exactly 15:00 the drone blows the fighter out of the sky (after which it wanders off, sniffing around for more targets or a refueling tanker while a long line forms at the vendor's kiosk).
