> No drone will capture a city.

I think that assumption will quickly need to be reevaluated. Drones definitely can empty a city if there's enough of them and they are so doing their thing for long enough. People can't eat concrete and plants don't grow without the sun.

As well as dumb WW2 era bombs. But even if the city is leveled to the ground you need a lot of ground troops to capture it. We've seen this recently in east Ukraine as well.

		Unlike bombs, way cheaper and personal and with minimal destruction. And you don't have to capture anything. Just move your drone operators forward once it's safe.

Emptying is not capturing, and also I would suggest you look up how effective strategic bombing usually is.

		What is capturing? Who talks about bombing? I'm talking flying a small drone up the butt of every resident that peeks out of the basement.
