Musk says U.S. needs many hypersonic missiles, long-range drones: 'Anything manned will die very fast'.
Business titan Elon Musk asserted that the U.S. needs a significant stockpile of hypersonic missiles and long-range air and sea drones.
"America needs a large quantity of long-range drones (air, surface water & submarine) and hypersonic missiles. Anything manned will die very fast in a drone war," Musk declared Thursday in a post on X.
The comments complimented comments he made in a tweet last month: "Future wars are all about drones & hypersonic missiles. Fighter jets piloted by humans will be destroyed very quickly," he opined.

I'm sick to my stomach again on having to mostly agree (we will still most certainly need manned fighter jets, particularly on our aircraft carriers, for certain missions) with someone who is so disagreeable. But I welcome his advocacy on this and he should add in the danger our Navy faces.
But Musk is absolutely right about the need for the U.S. to signicantly increase our stockpiles of such weapons.
