honestly what do people think of the governments plans to get rid of all the RAF pilots and spend 153million on a drone plane that looks like the american stealth
it's ridiculous i mean £153m on one plane, that isn't even british

Where did you hear this. Do you have a link?

There has been a lot of talk about the next generation of fighter aircraft being unmanned, this is due to the stresses that the human body can stand. These small unmanned aircraft can out turn any aircraft that has a body on board making it far more effective. All the other pilots in the RAF will be okay and so will may of the ground attack ones.

but like i said it is very easy to jam transmission waves they did it in ww2 so whos to say they couldnt do it now

I would think that they would use multiple frequencies that constantly change, but that is just me

yeah they probably would, but wouldn't that make it easier for them to jam as they have several chances to find the frequency and they would probably discover that it is unmanned and then spend most of their time trying to discover the frequencies would they not? :p i'm not trying to sound arrogant, honestly, just trying to say what i see as the flaws, and my grandfather would be turning in his grave with this new revolution as he was 111 squadron st leucas RAF working on the Phantom and the lightning FGR.2

The radio frequencies would also be changing every minute or so and by the time the enemy had found the frequency it would have already changed a few times and all this would be computer controlled

true, but i can't help finding flaws

There are cleverer people than you looking for the flaws in these things and finding answers to them
