The future is not the F22, it's a slow and cheap remote controlled drone with a propeller.
It's a slow but highly efficient autonomous drone with GPS and a terrain map.
Definitely. Hidden tunnels with high speed trains to bring ammunition and personnel at any point in no time; hidden turrets in the forest that emerge from the ground; dragon teeth and minefields prevent tanks from going through.
Unfortunately big brass love big weapons, big bombers, big ships, big guns; never mind if they're useless nowadays in a world of guerilla and IEDs. The future is not the F22, it's a slow and cheap remote controlled drone with a propeller.
