It's not that simple. If it was the American military wouldn't be effective because manpads, javelins, and torpedos would have taken out all the aircraft, tanks and ships.

The military is a fighting unit and protects itself very well. At least, it does it it's working right. When you have a military being destroyed by a vault interior opponent, it's because they are fucking to their military...or someone is trying to occupy Afghanistan.

Has a modern military ever gone up against an enemy using lots of small cheap drones though? I'm sure they have plans in place, just can't recall if they've ever really been tested, aside from Russia with the results we see.
