I think that UAVs are the future. Eventually they'll become able to dogfight with some of the existing planes owned by many countries, and win. Manned planes will then be replaced by all sides. Once that happens, the air war may just become an economic war, not a war of death. That assumes, of course, that both sides are using UAVs.

What do you mean by economic war? Presumably these planes will eventually be used to carry out mass bombings of ground targets causing massive death tolls.
