Drones are a solution to the targeting problem: the operator watches through a live video link, identifies the target, then deploys weapons. (Drops grenade/launches Hellfire/navigates into the enemy) This is why, despite being technically feasible, we haven't seen drone swarms yet. You can easily build 1000 drones, but you can't have 1000 channels of live video over radio back to 1000 drone operators.
