Cyber war, especially insufficiently defended industrial equipment control systems.

And about those drones: the category scales up and down, all the way from toys to things that rip apart apartment blocks.

And about quantity, Ukraine is estimated to be at the scale of millions of units last year, expended like munitions rather than like vehicles.
