I we will see a little arms race of drones and anti drones until there is a new balance. Rheinmetal already have a anti drone cannon module for Boxer afv which the uk could add to the order. Drones have to emit a radio signal so will be vulnerable to being tracked and ecm.
Small drones that are hard to see and hit paired with guided munitions and suicide drones will be tricky. -

The football can be easily punctured by artillery, you need a Combined Arms approach with your own artillery shooting in the armoured attack keeping the defenders heads down until it’s too late. Then the infantry de-buss and deal with the ATGM teams. If you can add in a bit of air power that’s even better.
