What stops drones just killing everything and whoever has the most winning every battle? How are they being defeated? What limits their use? Why aren’t infantry utterly terrified going into battle when drones seem able to blow them up without warning, dropping bombs out of nowhere? Can they be detected being small and flying low? Do they do air-to-air combat?

I think there is a problem here with the assumtion of what people are trying to accomplish. If the US wanted to completely annihilate an enemy force they could, with or without drones. But totally exterminating a nation you have a beef with is generally considered immoral. Large scale head to head battles don’t really happen anymore. If they did you might well see the most technologically advanced side just bomb the other side out of existence before the two forces ever reached each other. Modern combat is usually small and tactical, in areas that are difficult to bomb because of civilian casualties.
