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?

Economics. Drones aren’t cheap enough (yet) to have swarms of them flying around. Yhey are very fragile and have to be replaced regularly, and the vast majority is still operated manually, so available personnel is also a limiting factor.
In future, attack drones are likely to be automated via AI, but so is anti-drone defense.
