I tend to agree with the probability of drone warfare but ... there exists some possibility electronics will be unreliable -- either impractical to shield against electromagnetic pulses (EMP) or hackable. When I think about today's 'arms escalation' between white hat and black hat hackers it is easy to imagine that fancy drones can get brain-jacked or signal-jacked and sent back against you or self-destructed.
A drone has to pull an awful lot of G-forces to outrun a radio signal. It doesn't seem practical for drones to be fully autonomous (no communications) unless you buy into really good future AI and then they'd still need some corruptable communication technique to assign and abort missions.
