UCAVs are good for Recon, CAS and other relatively basic missions where a human life would be put in jeopardy. But for more complex missions like interceptions, CAPs, and even some strategic strikes, it would be prudent to keep a human in the cockpit, even just as a failsafe.

 

Perhaps one way we will have unmanned strike planes and bombers covered by manned fighters...?

 

EDIT: that being said, let it be known that I still vote for manned planes. If only because the job of "Military Jet Pilot" is just so damn awesome.

I used to have a matchbox toy of that plane! It was some concept that came from nowhere and went nowhere I think. Although I do remember running around in the back yard shooting down bad guys with it.

 

But I digress. Don't want to be off-topic here. :grandpa:
