    You know, I’d place the unmanned planes between me and the enemy… But you do you.

    Why do that when someone remotely can independently fly the other two and be even more useful?

      We went through all this trouble to develop the F-15. It would be a crime against humanity to leave it on the ground.

      Harder to disrupt communications?

        I mean, I’m assuming the connection types between the drone operator from both base and the pilot would be the same as in terms of disrupting communications.

        I think the main difference between a drone operator from a base would have some sort of lag time, but having 3 brains working against 1 opponent would make up for the difference.

        Shoot, why even have the pilot there. Just 3 drones vs 1 opponent would be even better.

          With the plane near the drones the connection can be purely by line of sight communication which practically can’t be disrupted.

          If we imagine an all out war against a near peer opponent remote control from a drone base is a lot harder to do.
