Subman surely you have heard of the plans to put a laser of the F-35
And yes todays lasers are dinosaurs. but they are RAPIDLY falling in size.
And lol about the maneuvers. You keep believing that they are that dumb. Meanwhile bots the size of flies are being built to perform missions.
By 2030 or even 2020 the idea of a manned fighter will be silly. We are on the verge of several things today that are going to SERIOUSLY upgrade drones in the future.
CPU: Simple.. 3D transistors Also simple about possibly Quantum computing which actually exists today. They will be able to computer tactics at speeds unfathomable and at details no human can possibly learn.
Weapons: Again lasers, railguns, The enemy having bigger and better missiles. Etc..
Materials. Not in time for the F-35 are a plethora of new researched materials that will be stronger and able to withstand maneuvers on the frame WELL past the human limits. This will be even more apparent in the future.
This is not a game. We can't keep putting pilots in the seat because of some romantic idea that man must fight. Because eventually the enemy will take advantage of such.
If we are to remain the military power of the earth we MUST move on. And the .gov seems to be doing little to get in the way of that.
Why have 1 F-35 when you can have a team of 5 drones able to fly and survive longer?
And obviously subman you have trouble understanding between conservative and conservative.
