Subject: Will UAVs totally replace manned military aircraft?

Due to the physiological limits associated with human pilots, it seems inevitable , that the UAV will be the predominant form of military aerial vehicle soon. There is a limit to how fast a manned jet fighter or bomber can fly according to a UAV "pilot" I work with. Obviously, there are also limits to maneuvers manned aircraft can perform , due to the effect of very high G forces on humans. Since, depending on the capabilities of the particular UAV, some are so small they have a natural stealth capacity.
