A look into the future of military aviation combat. This is my visual impression of what a future F35A Squadron would look like in 2030. 
It has two stealthy Wingmen Uav's, both with mission sets. One for surveillance and electronic warfare and refuelling , and one EMLS (Electro Magnetic Laser System) equipped attack and defense drone which could also function as a kamikaze unit taking advantage of higher G-load capabilities than any human pilot can achieve, making it a highly efficient and capable system and the perfect 'bodyguard' 
According to USAF reports the future of warfare will be intertwined with the use of Artificial Intelligence and unmanned 'Loyal Wingmen' uav's. A swarm of small, fast, cockpit-less fighter jets are flying in a tight circle around an F-35 Lightning II, reacting to its every move, waiting for a command. They will scout ahead, attack or sacrifice themselves if needed, relying on their outstanding reaction time and precision to execute maneuvers that human pilots could never achieve. This is the way many nations envision the air combat of the future. 
There are several problems with the current generation of combat aircraft. The first is that they are incredibly expensive. One F-35 costs between $77 million and $102 million. Taking inflation into account, that is almost 200 times more than what the state-of-the-art P-51 Mustang cost in 1945. Even ‘cheaper’ stealth fighters like the J-20 or the Su-57 are estimated to have a price tag of at least $50 million, not including massive operating costs. 
The second problem is the increasing cost of human (and especially a pilot’s) life. Economically speaking, a life often has an actual, although somewhat vague and fluctuating, dollar rate attached to it. The rate indicates how much a nation is willing to pay to avoid the death of one of its citizens. Not only is that cost steadily rising, but the political consequences of losing a soldier are becoming increasingly acute for many governments. An even bigger problem is the cost of pilot training that is creeping into the tens of millions for the newest stealth fighters requiring exceptional skills to operate.  
The answer to both problems is obvious: drones. As many conflicts show, drones are excellent in situations where reconnaissance or ground attack is needed, mostly due to long endurance capabilities. Their pilots can also take greater risks. That is why, for example, the United States continues to lose its unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) while performing missions in hostile environments without batting an eye.
