F-22s and F-35s will launch recoverable gremlins attack drones

I'm no expert but doesn't this imply that the Gremlins will occupy the weapons bays? What then are these fighters left to fight with?

While I can see the utility of this I have to ask what the cost/benefit ratio is.

Hear me out before thinking that I'm advocating pilots being put at risk.

Call me crazy, but wouldn't a more cost effective method of delivery be a C5 or even C130 to be controlled from an AWACS? By that I mean, I have to go with Captain Durish below. These Gremlins will have to take up ordnance space that something like an air-to-air missile would normally occupy. Also, if these Gremlins are carrying ordnance of their own what would it do the the thrust to weight ratio - not to even mention wind resistance. And aren't the F-35s supposed to have stealth technology? (I could be wrong here.)

I need more coffee. My brain is going in a hundred directions. All of a sudden I'm thinking about electromagnetic jamming to throw off everything but mark-one eyeball - which would be handy to a flight of fighters.
