I&#x27;m pretty sure at some point we will have a cheap, sub-100k drone that would be able to take out this fighter. Okay fine maybe it&#x27;d take 30 of those sub-100k drones. But for every take down, the US loses 1 BILLION DOLLARS while probably 20 of the drones survived, so the cost was ~ 1 million.<p>#1 rule of war. Never take to war what you can&#x27;t afford to lose.<p>It was noted the navy has the same issue. If we lose an aircraft carrier we lost the war economically. At that point its cheaper to just give up.
