> Drones and robots made attacks easier, did that help national security?

Large flying drones make patrolling a border easier. You don't have to worry about the pilot's fatigue level. Only fuel/battery.

The war in Ukraine clearly shows that smaller drones also help in attacking and defending. Attacking, by dropping bombs or spotting targets. And defending, via spotting incoming enemy forces; spotting enemy artillery that is shooting at you, etc
