Are Drones Making Fighter Jets Obsolete? The Future of Air Power Explained

Are drones replacing fighter jets? With the rise of AI-powered UAVs, swarm warfare, and autonomous combat systems, many experts claim that traditional fighter aircraft may soon become obsolete. But is this really true — or is air power evolving rather than disappearing?

In this Strategic Vanguard deep dive, we examine the real battlefield evidence from Ukraine, the Middle East, and the Indo-Pacific. We analyze the strengths and limits of drones, the enduring relevance of manned fighters, the emergence of loyal wingman concepts, and how major powers like the United States, China, and India are reshaping their air combat doctrines.

This video explores the future of air warfare through a strategic lens — separating hype from reality and understanding what truly determines air dominance in the 21st century.
