> Scouts and cavalry have had this role this for ages, but drones plus guided munitions are extra good at it.
I would add that they are not only extra good, they are also extremely cheap and thus disposable and able to be deployed in mass.

Do you know what's even cheaper than that? Good old fashioned bullets. Artillery and armored fighting vehicles will never die out because they don't cost ten thousands of dollars to operate per hour.
When you are holding onto ground for 24/7 you can't afford such an expense.
