Unless or until somebody comes up with cost effective air defenses against drone attacks the era of tank warfare is diminished regardless of the country, when a $2000 drone can take out a multimillion dollar tank and the current solution is to fire million dollar missiles at the drones

There is actually a really cost effective way to eliminate drones. It is called “signal jamming”. The issue is, if you jam the enemies signals, you are also jamming your own. However, a smart military would jam signals and then rely on more conventional means to address missile attacks which would include autonomous drones.

A second method would be to put out a CIWS on half-tracks that travel with the tanks.
