>> Drones definitely can empty a city if there's enough of them

As well as dumb WW2 era bombs. But even if the city is leveled to the ground you need a lot of ground troops to capture it. We've seen this recently in east Ukraine as well.

Unlike bombs, way cheaper and personal and with minimal destruction.

And you don't have to capture anything. Just move your drone operators forward once it's safe.
