In a world where unstoppable missiles travel for miles, there's no need for planes, manned or unmanned.



Of course. No big deal. We have an unlimited supply. They can be replaced in minutes at no cost.
Long range missiles cost a lot of money and you can only carry so many on a war ship.. Aircraft and the ability to bomb are better suited for lower level targets.

The advantage of the drone vs the plane, as I mentioned.. When a drone gets shot down you aren't losing the pilot. The drone can be replaced in a short time just as the airplane can, however it takes years of training to replace that pilot.
