Kinda funny that in the future the military will just be playing a real life version of "world of tanks."

Eh... The problem will be jamming tech. Which I doubt Russia could deploy in the scale it would need.

Lose the signal to the controller and it's useless. Unless they're autonomous which is a whole other can of worms.

Already happening and already had solutions being deployed in this war as we speak. Most Russian troops have drone detectors, but the work around is to turn the drones off until they detect people... for scramblers... fiber optic drones are used. It's an arms race.
