Well, no but actually yes. See the countless videos of people in Ukraine flying a DJI into a Russian airbase and just dropping fucking grenades on planes.
I have one piece of Military classified tech that makes every plane useless. New war is never going to use drones or planes or they will lose everything.
It's an anime sword, isn't it?
It has the power of god and anime inside of it.
Only true of 4th Gen jets. 5th Gen doesn't need as high maneuverability. If they did, you'd see further developments in combat drugs and water breathing suits.
New weapons almost never replace old ones, they supplement. Drones aren't going to replace piloted jets, but they can absolutely supplement them in the form of wingmen. Drones won't replace artillery, guided missiles or grenades, but they will replace SOME of them.
A drone swarm will never replace a jet, but it might replace some artillery bombardments.
