Except we already make most of our air-based strikes from drones currently, so that can't be the reason we have SOME piloted planes.



Air to land not air to air.


We'd happily have air to air drones (really RPA/RPS) except for jamming.

Basically all the current generation RPS tech (like Reaper) stops working once you're dealing with someone with jamming capability. No one is happy with algorithms pulling the trigger yet for air to ground, but air to air I can see happening quickly.


We have plenty of air to air drones. They're mostly prefixed with "Standard Missile", but that's what they are.
