the whole drone thing is really starting to take off, how long before they start recruiting from videogames for pilots?

Or before they can strap a railgun onto one lol that would be a battleship size drone

It opens RAF careers for taller people that's for certain. I tried to join when I was young but was told I was too tall for piloting. I would have lost my legs during an eject!

Same here, although my main problem was the lack of relatives (or relative's friends) in the air force. That's how recruiting in Italy works lol.

I wouldnt bet on seeing that any time in the near/medium future. With the cutbacks, and the fact that everything is late and overbudget with the UK Armed Forces...........

Popular mechanics did an article on some of the "up and coming" prototype UAV/drones a couple of months ago.

Anyone wondering why there's the focus on drones? Maybe it because of this

That's just an evil weapon. It will be a sad day for aviation when that goes into operational use. Imagine being the first pilot to get shot down by that. It will be like being Porkins in Star Wars
