About this episode
The episode discusses the complexities of engaging drones with an F-35 in a military context.
Interesting Things with JC #1628: "Shooting Drones with an F-35" – An F-35 pilot slows a supersonic aircraft to match a drone moving slower than highway traffic, because closing too fast erases the shot, and even with fused tracking and clean intercept solutions, the engagement shifts as multiple drones arrive together while the aircraft’s missile count drops.
