Training a soldier costs millions. Its more than just food and water.

More equivalent would be longbows vs. crossbows.

Takes years of training to use a longbow, crossbows are easy to use.

You don't have to seperate it all, it's unrealistic.

Combine all that, drones with bombs/cameras, dogs with guns/cameras, AI system sorting through footage real time and giving analysis, and one operator to get operational permission.
That's future war.

Pretty much the loyal wingman program. F35,22 and next gen fighters act as the mobile control centres. Have squadron of fully/semi autonomous drones as wingman. Let’s say 2 human manned planes and 4 or 5 wingman. Have one pilot giving out instructions to drones and then AI takes over as it attacks it target.

Then you can leave that wingman on continuously loitering programs over regions. Have their own Kill list of priority targets. Real time intel gets uploaded, triggers the strike program in the drone.

UK is looking to adapt catapult system to its carriers to adapt to its future loyal wingman program.

So yeah that film Stealth isn’t too crazy sounding given enough time.
