So I would say no, they are not a thing of the past. 1SG Private RallyPoint Member Thu, 05 Jun 2014 13:34:47 -0400 2014-06-05T13:34:47-04:00 Response by MSG Wade Huffman made Jun 5 at 2014 2:24 PM https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/are-fighter-planes-relics-with-the-advent-of-uavs?n=144478&urlhash=144478 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I believe UAVs will definitely continue to grow in an augmentation role for aerial combat, but I don't see them replacing fighters or bombers in the near future.

Yes. Right now? Not so much. The capabilities aren't quite there yet. SFC Michael Hasbun Thu, 05 Jun 2014 14:26:40 -0400 2014-06-05T14:26:40-04:00 2014-06-05T13:26:31-04:00
