Are you that stupid - drones increasing under obama is the new alternative to standard aircraft in the military. Get with the program and start thinking for yourself for a change - stop being so blind you cant see real trends. http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2012/01/drone-report/
We find, once again, point of agreement on this. It's always nice to have the latest in weaponry, but do we really need it. What was the movie with Chevy Chase, where they had 'Luck Up" airlines and others fighting over each other's technology? Can't remember? c
Drones don't command air superiority. It is air superiority that allows drones to operate. We have no "fighter drones" you dolt! Why don't you think for yourself and quit posting all this tripe from infowars.com? Are they paying you or something?
Wrong - if you have read any of the future "Air - Land Battle" docs or seen any of the Air Force think tank groups papers, it all points to a decreasing role for manned aircraft in "all roles" to include air superiority. The consensus is, that long range missle development launched from "stand off" drones will be more cost effective to destroy opposing air superiority aircraft. Bootm line - they want more DRONES!
There is a "specific" reason why they want more drones - and their own docs state the reason - it is pretty messed up too. I will let you figure out how to find the reality of their agenda with drones.
Drones are not capable of air to air combat and won't be for some time to come. Until that time arrives we had better keep our manned fighter technology edge. Read some Janes.
We're not spending enough on our military. We only spend 47% of the entire world's military budget. We need another 3% to make it an even 50.
Funny how Russia and China can defend themselves and nobody fucks with them and they only spend around 100 billion a year on defense,yet we spend over 700 billion a year and Mitt Romney wants to spend more
