That plus the cockpit and all that human support equipment. We're essentially looking at high-speed UAVs. I wonder if the speed even still makes sense at that point? Just look at the Ukraine-Russia conflict, once decent enough ant-aircraft systems were setup, it makes little sense for either side to fly them any more.

Instead of a few fighter jets, the future might be a tonne of slow high-altitude UAVs that are always present.
