Okay Russia and China hold off on war till this new drone is operational in 2024 :up:

The Navy will launch formal flight testing in 2021 for a new, first-of-its kind carrier-launched drone engineered to double the attack range of F-18 fighters, F-35Cs and other carrier aircraft.

Say to yourself, "Self did I just read that right"? Double the attack range :o

The emerging Navy MQ-25 Stingray program, to enter service in the mid-2020s, will bring a new generation of technology by engineering a new unmanned re-fueler for the carrier air wing.

"The program expects to be in flight test by 2021 and achieve initial operational capability by 2024," Jamie Cosgrove, spokeswoman for Naval Air Systems Command, told Warrior Maven.

Drone war's are just around the corner :yep:

I wonder when the first Drone War video game will come out hint hint wink wink :hmmm:

Thread title is MISLEADING.
