Yes and no. While some of the off-the-shelf drones can do damage to military equipment right now, militaries will always adapt to the threat, just as they have for thousands of years. The thing to always bear in mind is scale: slightly less-advanced tech, but 100x as much of it, is probably still better. Part of me wonders if the (relatively) small scale of current military engagements is skewing the discussion. Bret Deveraux[1] mentions that WW2 saw millions of tons of explosives being dropped on London and Berlin. Even last winter, Russia didn't come close to matching the destruction of the Blitz.
