In fairness, manned aricarft is superior if the pilot is capable of attacking and defending at the same time. But mannfed aircarft is expensive because a good pilot takes many years to train and many hours to fly, and many hours of real combat to gain real experience. But modern days you don&#x27;t really have wars soldiers and pilots are trained through simulation (but virtual and real life).<p>unmanned drones are expensive because the technology to develop a good one takes forever. R&amp;D is expensive (naturally, and commercially). So both sides have pros and cons. Except, to be real fair, if you can mass produce unmanned military drones at an affordable cost, unmanned drones are the superiors.
