Way overdone.

The default bomb for US aircraft is the Mk82, with a weight of 500 pounds, mostly explosive.

What is the weight of explosives on a default drone. Not a UAV. A drone. Reasonable estimate is 2-3 lbs.

What sort of crater can you make with 2-3 lbs.

Improvements are happening at lightning speed. I've seen recent video from Ukraine where they are now dropping 130mm and 155mm projectiles.

Enough to make any SAM, any grounded airplane, or any part of a logistics chain dysfunctional. The Ukes figured out that you don’t have to kill a T72, you just need to kill the trucks bringing it gas and ammo.
