I haven't seen any Strategic publications around the American's moving towards a drone airforce in that quick a time frame.
Until you get a whole other level of AI and a whole other level of completely secure and uninteruptable instand 2 way communication that can't be jammed its not going to happen.
I don't see any nations moving towards a remote controlled airforce. I do see a ton of money being spent by each of the major countries being spent on next generation manned fighter technology with an emphasis on airframe, speed and stealth and advanced avionics and communication links.
I honestly don't see a viable drone alternative for another 3 or 4 generations of jet fighter technology that will be widely integrated.
