Manned aerial combat flight is gone, below 6,000; and 25,000 is the record for RC planes. How do we move men and material? Material by drone. Men are surrounded by defense drones in that 6,000 ceiling. They can fly, at some risk, but fighter drones have to accompany and patrol.
Where does that put us? Rusty B52s, you gotta love them.
Drone combat is short range. Drones carry no human baggage and turn on a dime. The attacker drone has to get close, do a fly by and fire the shotgun. Defenders ou swarm the defenders, starting early to thin their ranks. Mother drone runs a radar station about 3,000 feet up. A hovering attack drone can do well against cruise missiles and have some missile defense capability. Much of the low level missile defense is replaced with the drone patrols. The ability of drones o swarm and foul up logistics is heir great utility, I am sill trying to figure out where soldiers die, i seems to me they are dug in running a series of small drone ports, mostly avoiding serious damage.
So, we have a problem, the mass production of drones saves lives in war by providing constant defense, the complex systems of previous was gone to distributed drone war. his seems dangerous, human are remote from it all, under the delusion that war is safer. Ten a drone slips through and fouls up life. I dunno know and we are finding out.
