Got a Real-World Weapon, Armor or Tactics Question? Mk. XXI

UAVs do have a unique vulnerability when it comes to EW, though; even the most advanced remotely-piloted vehicle would only need its connection with its pilot to be cut for it to be disabled. This might not be the case for autonomous vehicles, but that's a huge can of worms when it comes to targeting...

For a bomber or something like that I can certainly see why people would worry about autonomous drones, but I can't figure there'd be so much in the way of worries about civilian casualties for an air superiority autonomous drone. I mean there just aren't that many things that look like fighter jets that aren't fighter jets.
