There was a movie about this in the 80s!

And human piloted planes do not add any extra expense to those who want war. So, i must ask, what cost? They're just canon fodder anyway.

Soon, there will be a rapid escalation in defense.
Something like a swarm of drones.
All the have to be is a brick with wings and a propeller.
Aluminum cans that we call attack fighters runs into one and falls out of hte sky.

And we can make a million flying bricks for each F-whatever

The only thing attack aircraft are good for is to promote fear in an enemy that has little or no attack aircraft themselves.

This is just an example.
Attacking will soon be shown to be as stupid as it really is.

War is a racket. - Butler
