Whoever claims that drones are better than F35 forgets that the US military has the most and best drones, and more are coming. The US military is investing in both manned and unmanned aircraft, not in one at the expense of the other.

If the US military itself concedes that drones are superior, then other countries would presumably want to purchase drones which are likely far cheaper and easier to operate than expensive F-35s.

They are used for different things, by different countries that have different needs, situations, budgets, different support capabilities.
