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. John Dupre' "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.
