Beware of the drone-sexuals like Musk. He wants the US military to dump traditional firepower in favor of drones because that’s his one trick, invest in nascent industries that are heavily subsidized by the government.
This is sort of like saying to a larger country without airforce that they shouldn’t replace their entire army with airplanes. While it is true it doesn’t mean they shouldn’t invest more to their airforce. NATO is currently lagging behind on drones when comes to Russia and it would be a disadvantage in future war.

No military relies on one weapon system, combined arms cover the others’ shortcomings. Drones are an essential supplement.

No absolutely correct, you’ll need both a robust drone system AND a traditional method of delivering the most powerful of munitions.

No such things as a Wunderwaffe. I doubt anyone serious is keen on replacing traditional firepower with drones, but complement it.
Both sides in Ukraine are reliant on drones in part because they don’t have much better at short notice.
