The Drone Wars: Are Piloted Fighter Jets Obsolete?
From the dust-choked streets of Mosul to the bombed-out suburbs of Donetsk, I’ve seen firsthand the evolving face of warfare. Now, a new battlefield is emerging, thousands of feet above us: the domain of collaborative combat aircraft (CCA). These videos offer a glimpse into this rapidly changing landscape, raising critical questions about the future of air power. Is the era of the traditional fighter pilot drawing to a close, replaced by swarms of AI-controlled drones? Are inexpensive, attritable aircraft the key to overwhelming sophisticated air defenses? And what role will sixth-generation fighters, like the NGAD, play in this new paradigm? The answers, as these videos suggest, are complex and potentially game-changing.
Key Takeaways: The Future Takes Flight
Low-Cost, High Impact? The rise of cheaper, expendable drones and fighter jets could disrupt traditional air combat tactics. Think swarming attacks, overwhelming defenses by sheer numbers.
The AI Dogfight: Artificial intelligence is no longer science fiction. It’s in the cockpit, challenging even seasoned pilots. This raises profound questions about the role of humans in future air wars.
Sixth-Generation Stealth: The unveiling of the NGAD concept hints at a future where stealth and advanced technology still hold a crucial edge, even in a drone-heavy battlespace. This reinforces the ongoing technological arms race.

Beyond the Horizon: CCA and the Changing Dynamics of Air Warfare
The convergence of unmanned systems, artificial intelligence, and next-generation fighters signals a fundamental shift in air warfare. While low-cost drones might saturate defenses, platforms like the NGAD, presumably designed with collaborative capabilities, suggest a future where manned and unmanned systems fight as a networked team. This raises a critical question: how will these collaborative systems be integrated and commanded? Will human pilots act as orchestrators, overseeing formations of AI-controlled drones? Or will the decision-making loop be further automated, pushing human control further from the front lines?
These changes also have significant geopolitical implications. The proliferation of cheaper drone technology could level the playing field, allowing smaller nations to challenge traditional air powers. This could lead to more unpredictable conflicts, where swarms of inexpensive drones pose a credible threat to even the most advanced military forces. The race is on to develop countermeasures, from electronic warfare to directed energy weapons, but the advantage may lie with those who can adapt and innovate the fastest.

The Shocking Role Trump Played in the 6th Generation Fighter Jet Program!
Welcome back, to Skyward Fighter!. Today, we’re diving deep into a surprising twist in the development of the U.S. Air Force’s ambitious Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) fighter jet program. This cutting-edge initiative, designed to secure air superiority well into the 2030s, has encountered turbulence — and it’s partly tied to the arrival of the Trump administration. Let’s unravel the details.

Trump’s SHOCKING Impact on the US Air Force’s FutureGenZ7,043 views | 90 | December 6 2024 13:17:32 (2 comments)[ Read more … ]
The fate of the #usairforce sixth-generation fighter jet program (NGAD) now hinges on decisions made by the Trump administration, raising questions about the direction America’s air combat capabilities will take. With shifting political priorities and defense strategies at play, the Air Force finds itself in a pivotal moment that could redefine the structure of its next-generation arsenal.
Once set on developing a manned sixth-generation fighter, the Air Force is now reconsidering this approach. High costs, rapid technological changes, and evolving combat environments have compelled leaders to think beyond the traditional cockpit, weighing the efficiency and survivability of manned platforms against advanced unmanned solutions.
Central to this strategic pivot is the push for Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA), or so-called “loyal wingman” #drones Designed to complement manned aircraft, these unmanned systems can support pilots in complex missions, reduce risks, and expand combat capabilities with fewer human constraints.
Embracing CCAs could ultimately drive down long-term costs while increasing flexibility and resilience in contested airspaces. Unmanned platforms offer scalable manufacturing, modular designs, and the ability to integrate cutting-edge technologies at a faster pace than crewed aircraft can achieve.
The final call on NGAD’s direction under the #trump administration will shape not only the Air Force’s immediate trajectory but also the broader evolution of U.S. military airpower. As the Air Force balances tradition with innovation, its approach to six-generation fighters and loyal wingman drones may well determine its tactical edge in the decades to come.
