It's a "fighter"? Are we imagining drones dogfighting? What's it's main target?
Defense budgets.
probably brown people in west asia
CCAs or collaborative combat aircraft are the new hotness in military aviation. Basically smaller unmanned fighter jets that work alongside a traditional manned fighter. The idea is that you can have maybe 4 or 5 fighter jets worth of capability but only one of them has a human pilot on board. So the manned fighter can hang back and tell a farther forward one to fire a missile. Is it a wunderwaffen? Is it a boondoggle? Idk man
Which one get's to carry the spool of fibre optic?
Some of the constraints imposed on fighter jets is life support and G-force limitations for the pilot. Removing the pilot and allowing an on-board computer handle things in the moment (e.g. dogfights) gives an unmanned jet the upper hand.
It's obviously a step toward completely automated war machines, but that's the justification for the "unmanned fighter jet"
Wildberries.
Maybe Amazon next?
Alive things
Other drones
nah, you're right, it's clearly delivering medical supplies.
