The F-35 Is So Advanced Its Own Pilots Can Hardly Believe It
“The F-35 ‘redefines’ how you go to war with a platform. it fuses data at a very core level, providing pilots with information to be lethal in the battlespace,”
by Kris Osborn
Here's What You Need to Remember: Describing F-35 weapons engagements, Lockheed F-35 pilot Billie Flynn said F-35s could fire Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missiles without being seen by adversaries - operating at the margins of detectability.
As 60 enemy fighters closed in on a US Air Force 4th Generation fighter aircraft, blinding the jet with electronic warfare attacks, an experienced pilot faced unseen life threatening attackers closing in -- during an air-combat Red Flag exercise closely replicating actual warfare scenarios.

Hypervelocity weapons, F-35, Sensor Fused Weapons, AI, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles... remind me again exactly why human pilots in aircraft are necessary? And why id the risk necessary?

Dog fights are real time. A quarter of a second can easily make the difference between success and failure. Remote control isn't real time.

The times they are a changin'. The new Skyborg system of systemsis finding that AI can handle more assets than a human can, faster and more effectively. It started by exploring the potential for AI to take autonomous control of UxV weapons but has grown to find that AI systems may, indeed, be more effective warriors than human beings. Time will tell. https://newatlas.com/military/skyborg-combat-drones-brain-first-time/
