Not only do drones have crazy kill numbers from afar but the psychological terror they impose on those in their patrol area is unparalleled.
Old school war won't happen anymore unless the warring sides wipe out the technological edges either side may have. Even then you're going to have to take the war to orbit and wipe out satellites. A new world war is going to be gross.
Besides, why would our corporate overlords want to wipe out any percentage of the population, our debt based incomes keep them fat and rich and the more people they have under their thumbs the more profit they make. Now excuse me while i go fashion my new tin foil hat.

My gut feeling is that Drones would be neutralized fairly early in the war.
China has worked on hacking the communication links of the U.S. military and we don't know what they're capable of. As well, its not hard to find the building with the antennae around it and destroy them.
Its not like the Russians and Chinese have been sitting around admiring the drones. The Drones are a key part of America's war fighting campaign and they'll have figured out a way to take them apart.
