Marine megadrone will have all the weapons, sensors of an F-35 and do everything a manned F-35 can do except displace the F-35 budget

Speaking of the 9x, the boys over on F-16.net are singing the praises of the F-35 in Red Flag and the virtues of SA and HOBS missiles, but the F-35 doesn't carry the 9x internally and when carried externally, LO is gone. So the F-35 is a one trick pony with the 4x 120s.
Sorry if I violated the "news" rules with this.
AIM-120 has been HOBS capable for some time now.
