Chris,

I wonder how long it will be before a drone is able to project "air superiority" over a manned fighter jet?

Your pictures show the amazing capability of fighter pilots to potentially alter their position to dominate a hostile opponent.

But we are moving towards more sophisticated drones.

Would there be any point in a drone having the same capability and combat maneuvering skill of the latest fighter planes to engage them, or do they just need to be able to deliver smart missiles or bullets?
