Be happy. The F35's going to be used about 2/3 less because it costs about three times more to fly.

Yes, thats why more and more drones will be the cheap replacement. And in a not so distant future .. we might probably see a swarm of cheap drones just overwhelm that awesome F35

Part of the goal of the F-35 is to serve as a mini-AWACS command and control aircraft for groups of drones.
