Sparks was right. Air-Mech-Strike is where the US Army should be heading. A mechanized airborne force is a SERIOUS headache for the enemy. Instead of expending resources to deal with "Little Groups Of Paratroops" (LGOP) they're instead having to deal with the tactical mobility of a mechanized force that drops behind their lines? An annoyance becomes a concern.

Brits are out the box first with Manned-Unmanned teaming on the PoW?

Operating crewed and un-crewed air assets in the shape of @thef35 and the Banshee from @QinetiQ is another big step forward on our journey to joint carrier strike capability.

They also look pretty cool!
