Not necessarily, there is a balance to be found. For example, there is no point sending thousands of mini-drones if a simple jammer can make them all fall out of the sky, or if they can't reach their target because their range is too limited, or because they are too slow and visible for a surprise attack. Modern fighters are big and expensive because of their capabilities like speed, range, stealth, weaponry, counter-measures, radars, etc... And they are not just made to blow up stuff (we have missiles for that), they are also complete platforms for reconnaissance, communication, etc... And the pilot is not just there to control the plane, he is also an officer on the battlefield with all that implies regarding situation awareness and decision making. |
