Jordaxia wishes to purchase designs of the British made swarmer planes (Not available yet, but soon, so modern tech I would suppose) Either that, or somebody who has them and will sell, for a reasonable price.
(Not future tech at all please.) I would also, secondarily, be interested in designs/models of the American pilotless bomber.
The British drone is the model where there is one pilot plane, which has the computer systems for the other swarmers and relays commands. Not too sure about armanents, so if somebody designs, then whatever you can please.

Any links to what you may be talking about just for illustration purposes.

As far as i was aware the UK was bit behind in the old RPV stakes (despite our governemnts decision that they were the only way forward... in the 1960s...)

Afraid not, but I can look.
It may just be an idea on the drawing board, but it certainly exists one way or another (just what may exists might be leaked from classified sources to assorted press)
The mother jet is very fast though, so it can escape if a bigger plane comes near. The drones may be orbiting kamikaze missiles but thats doubtful, most likely a large machine gun with an engine. It would probably have a very short air time, but would be good defensive (or limited CAS) against tanks, infantry, or bombers. (Fighters would probably be too fast) The mother plane also acts as an AWACS, so that it can give targeting data and so forth, while staying away from action.
