4) You can argue that drones are good for air to ground, however I would argue that drones have failed in air to ground due to incidences where again you don't have situational awareness and you have distance control. While you do have a incidences with a human controlled fighter bomber at least you have the ability to instantly evaluate the situation in theatre.


I really am enjoying this thread. It's interesting. I just don't have anything interesting to add other than some light humor.
