First known test dogfight between AI and human pilot carried out, US military says

AI has a already won in these confrontations

Surface To Air missile made human piloted aircraft obsolete.

All that’s needed now are a bunch of missiles, plug into an AI program and let it run by itself.

Why would militaries invest in a billion dollar aircraft piloted by a highly trained aircraft pilot with years of training that cost millions of dollars that is probably paid millions over many years … when the pilot and his aircraft can be shot down by a $100,000 missile. If you can’t do it with one missile, send three, four or ten, it’s still cheaper than matching them with an aircraft and pilot.

Instead of investing in expensive aircraft and pilots, all a defending country can do is just spend the same amount of money and surround their country with anti aircraft missiles controlled by AI systems.

  • Force projection.
  • It ain’t that easy to shoot down stealth aircraft.
  • Missiles that can successfully shoot down stealth aircraft cost several million dollars each.
  • Ground launch systems that can target and engage stealth aircraft, like the US Patriot System, are so horrifically expensive that no nation can afford enough of them to cover more than a fraction of its airspace. That means you need aircraft capable of engaging incoming enemy targets.
  • It ain’t that easy to shoot down stealth aircraft.

    Hell, it's not easy to shoot down non-stealth aircraft

    The pilot evaded all six missiles while not being able to deploy any chaff/flare countermeasures.
