If you can add in a bit of air power that’s even better.
And therein lies the real issue. Air superiority is all. No ground troops are secure in the absence of control of the skies. And with drones, air superiority is a very hard thing to achieve.
Brommers-
I we will see a little arms race of drones and anti drones until there is a new balance. Rheinmetal already have a anti drone cannon module for Boxer afv which the uk could add to the order. Drones have to emit a radio signal so will be vulnerable to being tracked and ecm.
Small drones that are hard to see and hit paired with guided munitions and suicide drones will be tricky.

The football can be easily punctured by artillery, you need a Combined Arms approach with your own artillery shooting in the armoured attack keeping the defenders heads down until it’s too late. Then the infantry de-buss and deal with the ATGM teams. If you can add in a bit of air power that’s even better.
