The critical aspect of drones is as cheap as you can get while being effective. The US Military from a true large-conflict conventional war is currently most vulnerable to an economic conflict. We blew so much money on basically minor military maneuvers relative to a real big war, and it show that our defense industry is parasitic and corrupt. Drones are the perfect counter: if cheap enough, plentiful enough, and effective enough, they don't need to be superior to their american counterparts. They just need to win the cost ratio by a sufficient margin.
