There is a certain rudeness to those photos that makes me wonder whether sufficiently rumptious models will soon be wearing little round fans on their hips, and posing in uplifting
Can also carry a ton of countermeasures, and large defensive drone complement, without sacrificing speed, time aloft, or mission readiness. Oh, and still have plenty of cargo lift capacity.
The air frame is probably also at least an order of magnitude cheaper, and far less operationally complex than a jet with a similar mission profile.
Yes, there are trade offs, but drone swarms can make them much, much more than just floating target practice.
I wonder if they will just load it up with sensors and computers so that it's like an AWACS only not flying in circles as fast.
Sounds like it'll be a giant drone launching platform, like a floating beehive.

And we will not speak of the gondola ...
Pretty big target for a drone or missile, no?
