Autonomous drones are an inevitability. Enormous force multiplication is available with autonomy. We're talking about a few people, or perhaps one person, defeating battalions.

I can also assure you that Ukraine using fiber topic, semi and fully autonomous drones with great effectiveness against the invaders.
There are thousands of videos of this in Kursk alone.
Ukraine are able to set up "shielded corridors" to protect critical supply roads from fiber optic drone attack behind the front lines in the donbass but in kursk they were exposed and defenseless.
