You can bet we will be risking manned aircraft and low altitude for a very long time to come. I don't think you understand military priorities in times of war.

Sure they will take the risk at low altitude when there's no other option. But the preferred technique now is to orbit at medium altitude and dispense precision munitions. Why expose the aircraft to ground fire when it's not necessary?
