Tiberius Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 C-Span did shows about this plane all last week and It looks like a great plane and does all sorts of neat stuff but what can it do that a drone or a series of special drones can't do better? Much like the battleship supporters of the 1930's or the cavalry promoters of that same decade, the manned fighter jet just isn't a necessary platform anymore, IMO.

As soon as i saw your name I knew you wouldn't say anything but ask me to write more. Change your name to "zero" it better suits you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drinkTHEkoolaid Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Yes, drones will solve everything. No. Don't worry about communication and control uplinks that can be hacked, because its already happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azalin Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 at this point in time, replacing figher jets with drones seems a bit like replacing eagles with mosquitos. maybe someday, but not today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted August 26, 2013 Author Share Posted August 26, 2013 Yes, drones will solve everything. No. Don't worry about communication and control uplinks that can be hacked, because its already happened. And the more expensive F-35 systems can and will also be defeated, that's going to happen with everything we build at this point in time, replacing figher jets with drones seems a bit like replacing eagles with mosquitos. maybe someday, but not today. With the pace of technological change we are seeing, its going to happen soon rather than later Still laughing..... note this is also the person who drinks Bud Light Lime. I'm starting to think we may have a Hogboy on our hands. Your argument is a Lime Beer???

I'm saying that a drone can do anything better than a manned aircraft can do and do it better in many cases. If you want to research that, feel free.

If you want to research that, feel free. How about details which support the bolded. Had you done any research whatsoever its unlikely you'd post anything so stupid.

DC Tom Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I don't think you know what "support" means. Source for me detailed tactgical combat strategies in which all of the functions of the F-35 are surpassed by an unmanned drone. Point of note: "tactical combat strategies" is a nonsensical statement. There's tactics, and there's strategy (and operations in-between). "Strategy" has ****-all to do with individual fighter aircraft - the constraints are tactical and operational. You want details?? For what? I'm saying that a drone can do anything better than a manned aircraft can do and do it better in many cases. If you want to research that, feel free. Do anything better, and do it better in many cases? What the !@#$ does that even mean? And under what doctrine? Naval airpower doctrine? US or UK doctrine? Do drones work as well as manned aircraft under US Marine close air support doctrine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
