Maybe, but not as interesting as some of the stories have tried to make it. One story I read tried to make it sound like the end of manned fighters was just around the corner because of this "new" development, when in reality the only thing new is that it's an F-16. It's just rigged to be flown remotely so it can be a target for manned fighters to shoot down. They've been doing the same thing for many years with old F-4's, 100's, 106's etc...no big deal.
