Well, it's a plus point that we're investing in this technology ourselves rather than buying from America in doing so. It'll be good for jobs in the appropriate regions of the country.

I think that UAVs are the future. Eventually they'll become able to dogfight with some of the existing planes owned by many countries, and win. Manned planes will then be replaced by all sides. Once that happens, the air war may just become an economic war, not a war of death. That assumes, of course, that both sides are using UAVs.
