The future of European airpower might be unmanned

Much of the attention on European air programs has focused on sixth-generation manned fighters, but there is an increasing focus on unmanned systems, both of the larger CCA variety and the smaller quadcopter revolution playing out in Ukraine. So with one sixth-gen fighter program dead, is the future trending towards drones?

For part three of our European Airpower roundtable, Breaking Defense Editor-in-Chief Aaron Mehta is joined Breaking Defense Europe co-editors Tim Martin and Elisabeth Gosselin-Malo, along with noted aviation expert Douglas Barrie of the International Institute for Strategic Studies. Keep an eye out for future episodes by going to Breaking Defense and Breaking Defense Europe .

欧洲空军项目的关注点大多集中在第六代有人驾驶战斗机上，但无人系统也日益受到重视，包括大型的CCA无人机和正在乌克兰兴起的小型四旋翼无人机革命。随着一个第六代战斗机项目的夭折，未来是否正朝着无人机的方向发展？
