We are getting 65 F-35s. The US is getting 2500 :P

Another argument for drones is again in numbers. You can lock onto an enemy fighter from hundreds of kilometers away and a fighter only has so many countermeasures. Put enough cheap drones in the sky out of any sort of effective tactical jamming range and the fighters could be nullified.

It's the old Shermans vs Panzers again
