that's probably a long ways down the road and probably by the time that works we'll have moved on to our next procurement after the F-35.
Frankly my biggest fear with drones is that they still require ground control especially if your thinking of using them as an intercept or air control option. So the smart counter is to either track, triangulate and destroy ground control, or jam the data links.
In other words it would be easier to deny the sky or ground an entire airforce.
There's also the delay in communication that adds to reaction time.
