Wanna know how I know you have no experience with satellite communications?

What, they are LEO?
EDIT: From what I'm reading you are still looking at around a 0.25 second to a half second delay one way transmission.
Great for real time video, spy drones, etc.
Not so much for combat.

i'm not going to argue.It is safe to say any lag is negligible at most.It would be an interesting study to find out the time differential between the response of a real pilot and a communications driven remote pilot. I mean,there's still the human factor there with the pilot sitting in a room somewhere.

I'm pretty sure air to air combat is a thing of the past. And knowing this i'm sure there is no need for a pilot in a seat.

Eh.
I'd imagine pulling off high G moves are shaky enough that the plane can't wait for a half second for the information to be sent, however long for the pilot to decide how to react and move, and then another half second for the info to go back.

The need for combat aircraft is only going to diminish anyway. We now have cruise missiles that can be launched from thousands of miles away from either air, land or sea platforms that can carry a variety of payloads. They are only getting more accurate and versatile every day. I personally think the aircraft carrier is today what the battleship was in 1941. Small destroyers and submarines will soon be able to carry hundreds of small or large cruise missiles they can launch from hundreds of miles off shire and can strike targets hundreds of miles inland. Artillery and mortar rounds are now GPS guided and the army has a rocket system that is accurate to a meter that can be fired from hundreds of miles away. These will take the place of a lot CAS platforms.

Time to get good at Microsoft Aircraft Similator X?

A human would still be in the loop, they aren't flying on automatic (yet).
The F-35 has a helmet visor that allows the pilot to "see" through the airframe merely by looking that way. It works by projecting the views from strategically-placed hi-res cameras onto the visor. That is *current* technology.
So why not just mount some more cameras for a full view and transmit to a pilot in a remote location?
With that helmet technology in place you could just put a human pilot at the controls of an amazing video game, flying a plane more maneuverable than anything Hollywood has come up with.

Im sure they know things I don't....but I don't see how these craft can have an advantage in a combat scenario. Other than tactics that you consider them disposable.
Russia and China have developed radars that can detect our stealth fighters. It is much cheaper to have them shoot down a drone than a F-35.

How are we going to make "Behind Enemy Lines 6" without a Naval Aviator?

What happens in the future when the U.S. and other countries have their militaries fully automated and unmanned? Will war be a contest of who can destroy the most robots? Imagine a top gun like dog fight between drones.
Will this make countries more or less likely to engage each other militarily if there is minimal loss of life?
