Do you think we will ever develop another manned fighter jet?

It seems like unmanned is the future. The F22 is a badass aircraft but with advances in technology it makes less and less sense to develop things like this. Plus with unmanned you can do stuff you couldn’t with manned like perform higher g maneuvers or hell who knows what.

I suspect jamming devices for drones will be the next step in defense so you would want to keep manned jets going.

Probably after China hacks all our drones and turns them on us we'll throw a pilot back in there.

Sure. Prototypes probably already exist

Should we just surrender to skynet today?

It's going to be hard to replace manned close air support with remote drones. This is why as hard as they've tried they can't get rid of the A-10 Warthog

Yes.
Have you not seen star wars? Are TIE fighters not manned?

Air to air combat has almost been eliminated for the US because of technology.
Nevertheless, I still think we will always need a motherfricka on the trigger.
Computers will never be able to problem solve (or fail) like humans.
Humans are unpredictable and warfare needs that.

Yes, in case we ever need to get special ops on a commercial airliner

I honestly hope we at least some in the hopper that we don't know about.
It's a trip how Skunkworks was building the F-117 down the street from the Star Wars set in the 70's. Though even with the "F" designation the Nighthawk is a bomber and not a fighter jet.
With the crazy leaps in drone tech it's not unfathomable that repurposed versions of Raptors and 35's are the last manned fighter airframes, but I sure hope not.

The 22 is so old...that I had a SEGA Genesis game called f22 interceptor over 25 years ago.
Point being the next generation fighters are probably already being tested.
We will have others built.
Though if they will be adopted is another story. (The f23 is a beast as well, the f20 was cool too, but the F16 updates beat it out)

AI laughs at your puny human weapons.

We will, however it may the last one.
