Israel: Combat drones in dogfights with enemy jet fighters ‘not a fantasy’:
"Israel has envisioned the design of unmanned aerial vehicles to attack enemy
fighter-jets.
The Israel Air Force has been examining the prospect of a new generation of UAVs
that could intercept enemy warplanes.
The proposal to the Air Force was meant to reduce dependence on expensive
manned aircraft platforms, including the Joint Strike Fighter of the United States.
“The [unmanned] air-to-air mission is not a fantasy but part of the future,” former
Air Force commander [Ret.] Maj. Gen. Eitan Ben-Eliahu said."
