Another Project Nobunaga Design (FVC Submission)

This is my Future Vehicle Challenge Submission.

considering how good a lot of the other submissions are, i know im probably not gonna win, but i wanted to throw something out just for funsies. That being said, one of the things that screams "future" to me is drones. this has two of them, along with other typical features such as faux thrust vectoring, swing wings and a lot of munitions. nothing you havent seen before really.

Controls:
"Thrust Vectoring": Gear 8
best turned off on takeoff, landing, and when operating drones.
Gyroscope Stabilization: Gear 7
use when cruising or while piloting drones, in order to not crash.
Swing-Wings: VTOL
forward swept wings seem to improve turning rate and lift, while back swept wings improve stability.
Launch Drones: Gear 2
Arrest Hook: Gear 1

so... how is this futuristic? i read somewhere that the military might be looking to use drones in tandem with their aircraft to perform reconnaissance. also it just kinda looks futuristic.
