Unmanned RAH-66 Comanche

I've been thinking that the RAH-66 Comanche would be revived as an Unmanned stealth copter

problems with UAV's are the amount of Frequency band width they are using for their telemetry and communications. And they have never worked in an electronically hostile environment. By their nature UAV's are not stealthy relying on transmissions to operate effectively. Those transmissions can be tracked, analysed, spoofed , Jammed or used to target the UAV.
I'm afraid much of the faith in UAV's is misplaced and over a battlefield with an enemy with a proper Air Defence network and Electronic warfare capability in both ESM and ECM they will be found wanting.

You seemed to have a good point my friend. But I was thinking that the Unmanned Comanche could be cheeper and have plasma stealth tech unlike the original. and it would have a twin tail

Go for it! Someone converted an A-10 a while back.

Can we fine someone who can convert the RAH-66?
