Sure they can be.
But to be effective in combat, they have to be essentially the size of a conventional fighter jet.
What, do you think you are going to strap on a ton of bombs onto a drone no larger than you are?
I do not hate drones, I have used them myself. I simply am not some mindless moron who thinks they are the best thing ever, and will win wars all by themselves.
You know, after the last War to end all wars", one famous wag even said the era of armies and ground combat was at an end, the wars of the future would be fought by bombers. Well, it is over 70 years later, and it still has not happened.
But I see your typical response. Somebody posts something you do not like, you immediately resort to insults, and do not actually talk about the context of what was said.
But fine, you are right. Now show me a comparison of a much smaller combat drone. You are the one that made the claim that there are many that are smaller, now it is up to you to prove it.
So go ahead, prove me wrong.
I don't have to, I already proved you wrong on FDR and the choices, which the rest of your filler attempts to avoid admitting, and so does the construction records; we had enough fleet carriers to hold on after Pearl, and the Japanese were too over-extended to do much except blockade Australia for a short time anyway, and we managed to prevent that anyway. Your typical response is to just insult people and through out long posts pretending to school everybody when you really don't know any more than the people you're insulting, and it's just lame, typical of low level non-coms who got to bully a few grunts around and now thinks they're legends in their own minds or something.
As for drones, the Iranians just landed two on a tanker deck and exploded them, dumbass, along with a third kamikaze drone; so where is all this 'ecm n stuff' you were babbling about in another thread, again? Isn't the Gulf like a major militarized region? Do you think the Iranians are more 'advanced' than the U.S. or something?
