I'm pretty sure being able to kill anyone that dissents at any time in any situation overcomes the need for boots on the ground even in an invasion or complete takeover scenario – and drone warfare has reached that stage.
Jamming radio is pretty basic, and then the drones are useless. Unless the operator is close enough so the drone can be controlled by a cable, or visual signals
Lemme introduce you to our autonomous drones: no human error involved, faster reaction time and higher precision.
Nice! It makes me feel so much better, if the error that gets me killed is not human error
exactly
Drones can't establish a new base on captured land. Boots are the only ones that can.
You don't really need that, you need control of an area. That's why you put a base down. Drones can control an area without said base.
You're thinking too small.
Small combat drone comes in, clears the area of The Enemy™ (results may vary, consult your user manual for assistance). Then, the large, base establishment drones enter and set up base operations, of course fully operated remotely. Repair and maintenance drones then enter the scene to ensure full operation.
