I mean, obviously, there's a future for drones in TACAIR. They have had some role in TACAIR missions since the 70s. In the future, the pilot with a bunch of networked drone wingman is definitely at an advantage against the one without. They are well suited for things like SEAD/DEAD.

Canada is still going to buy a fleet of F-35s because it is the only option that remotely makes sense (you think the RCAF's AA rates are in the toilet now try a mixed tacair fleet lol, Snowbirds will be the only thing that can turn a wheel......assuming they actually buy a replacement)
Like it's all very well and good Canada is talking about doing........something here, but the only realistic replacement for their now held together with baling wire Hornets is..............still the F-35, and it will be for another decade at least

Fifth, South Korea is an existentially important partner. They are our 8th largest trading partner (we're their 2nd). They host 28,500 US troops, TACAIR, and our largest overseas base all inside the first island chain. (5/?)

I can't wait for Textron to also quit and then we watch SNC absolutely punt a sole source clean sheet design because they've never done it before and naval tacair disintegrates while I sip bourbon as a retiree

Neither - they are the numbers TACAIR would use for seeing if we needed ground commander’s initials to employ given danger close assumptions around probability of incapacitation of friendlies if within that distance.
So not a 1:1 with what they’re talking about here, but useful as a guide I think

The fact that we're still buying F-35s without question is given a 4 word parenthetical in the piece, which is kinda weird considering the corporate position for over a decade has been regardless of NGAD or anything else the 35 would be the backbone of tacair for the next 25 years at least
