__Submission statement__: This was to be expected, given the existence of [DARPA AlphaDogfight](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DARPA_AlphaDogfight), though in this case the system hasn’t been trained via self-play, but on human dogfights. It’s relevant because ditching human pilots probably can enable a much wider range of maneuvers—fleshbags have a problem with high [__g__](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_acceleration). Curious whether there’s similar efforts in the PRC (or other countries), and how they will play out in relation to drone warfare.
Sounds a lot like the set up to Ace Combat 7. Granted, I imagine we’re still a ways away from ‘motherships’ that are going to be dropping drone swarms…..but, honestly, who knows.
