Re: Missiles are drones
Well I guess if you are just talking about missile carriers it does make sense and probably that is not too hard to achieve.
Cheap, unmanned missile carriers capable of high speeds carrying upwards of 6 BVR missiles, you might achieve better than a 1:1 kill ratio (which is assumed in a mass meeting of opponents both equipped with BVR weapons)
If you look at this chart, you'll see that 3 missiles per target probably ensures a kill:

I guess in a protracted war between two tier one players scenario the drone would enable you to win the attrition simply by being quicker to make than a pilot is to train.
And if you are just talking about being able to assemble a wave of them and steer them towards the incoming enemy, I can't actually see why nobody has done this yet?
