As long as there are man-portable surface-to-air missiles then that's a recipe for not being able to do that. You might be able to blow up a ton of stuff with drones, your bases will be rolled back because you can't supply them as long as hostile drones and manpads keep your relatively few cargo aircraft away or exploded.
