tldr: why not just use drones.

Exactly, as mentioned in the article, manned warplanes are mostly a thing of the past in modern war.

They said that when the Avro Arrow was scrapped. There's been at least 6 more fighter jets built since then!

Remind me how far (high) a drone can be from a good radio repeater and still be controlled?

Yeah. Thought so.

Remind me how many G's can a human sustain for longer than 30 seconds? We're building planes that are capable of doing things that would kill their pilots on a regular basis. Our soft, squishy bodies are the biggest limit in terms of maneuverability of the aircraft at this point.

There are many types of drones, like missiles… <sheesh!>
