Saving lives in war.

[Yenn]

The US have just announced that to reduce lives lost in wartime, they are going to single pilot operations for aerial refuelling aircraft. That makes sense as they know the aircraft are sitting ducks, so why waste a pilot when they get hit.

They could take it further and not send any aircraft up, thereby not risking any pilots. Which is the way of future wars and even the Ukraine war. Use drones instead.

They are already testing refuelling drones - and they are BIG Mothers!

I remember Gulf War I; I was working at the Tooronga Zoo in Melbourne (Then Coles Myers head office in Tooronga) and we used to watch it streamed live to fee to air TV that we could watch as we worked.. Not much has changed, then.
