Without a pilot, you could design a pretty radically different jet... good point.

What if we put missiles on our missiles?

I think you're on to something...

Alternatively, SLAM, the (never made) supersonic nuclear powered cruise missle that would fly across a country popping off nukes as it went: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supersonic_Low_Altitude_Missile

That was one scary piece of hardware. Fly a group in formation and completely depopulate large sections of planet.

Even better, how about laser-riding submunitions on our missiles? Sounds cooler, anyway.

It's missles all the way down...
