The US Marines don't get a lot of visibility for their forward thinking, and they shocked everyone when they decided to dumb main battle tanks (being a former Marine myself, I thought it was the right call but most were dumbfounded). The Marines are testing the XQ-58A Valkyrie because they seem to believe that the drone is the future (they started buying small infantry level drones in 2012, so once again, the Marines were looking at the future of warfare, and Ukraine has validated their decision). This is the magic of the XQ-58. For the price of one F-35, the Marines could buy 50 XQ-58s. Drone swarms are the future and the Marines know that. The Air Force will buy a few hundred horribly expensive planes that may face thousands of autonomous drones. One of the roles of the XQ-58 will be to "take one for the team," meaning to put itself out there in front of the manned plane to draw the fire so the enemy aircraft has to reveal its position. The F-35 can easily be tricked this way too so an enemy could use similar inexpensive drones to simply swamp high tech aircraft. The future often written about in science fiction books is very close at hand.

There are three ace combat games about why this is a bad idea.
