I wonder what science-fiction movie is similar to this? Seriously though, I see the benefit in the implementation of this technology.

What happens when nations have AI fighting against AI?

So the "plane" with better reaction time and no fog of war "wins" in an extremely contrived scenario. Seriously, guns-only dogfighting in current year? I'll be impressed if it can land on a carrier in high crosswinds while damaged.

It may not have to. If it can be remotely piloted and the AI switched on and off for combat it would still be a good advantage. And really guns only dogfighting is a much tougher task than using missiles that are already fire and forget themselves. If an AI can dogfight adding missile support should be trivial.

What if the reciever is damaged? Also remotely operated planes with current tech is impossible Just shoot the reciever of the plane and the enemy has no chance of saving it, not to mention how a heavy long range reciever would make the plane very heavy and much more expensive

We have remotely operated planes, the predator drone is one!

Complete bullshit. Can it talk to enemy aircraft and tell them to move out of the airspace? Can it land while broken?
