Does anyone remember......... The missile will make the internal gun and the
dog fight obsolete? Fighters will kill thier targets at BVR and never see
them? Modern submarines with missiles make surface ships obsolete? Modern man
portable anti tank missiles make the tank obsolete?

Clearly UAVs have an important and increasing role especially in military roles
but there will always be a need to have a pilot on station somewhere who can
actually see what is going on with his own eyes.

"These things are here to stay and
they are proliferating. We'll see them on every runway of every
airport doing patrols and day-to-day routine tasks." Some are even
predicting that the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter will be the last manned
fighter.
