For now. I'm sure it's only a matter of months until they far exceed the capabilities of a human pilot. For one, they can pull off maneuvers that would kill a human pilot. For two, they can pull from the combined history of every combat mission ever flown.

For three, it doesn't ever get tired or emotional. And if the plane gets shot down you don't lose a valuable experienced pilot. You can copy-paste this thing infinitely.

Let's make them an autonomous factory to self replicate. I for one welcome our new robot overlords.
