An AI-run fighter jet went up against another controlled by a human pilot in a drill, the US has said. The aircraft flew at up to speeds of 1,200mph during combat that's often referred to as a dogfight.

The aircraft flew up to speeds of 1,200mph. DARPA did not reveal which aircraft won the dogfight.

    Yeah, but procurement of a combat pilot has about a two-decade lead time. You can build more jets a lot quicker (potentially even including the R&D phase).

      Also as this war expands to become planet-wide, industrial output of drones will expand many orders of magnitude.
