If you’re talking cheap drones, that means you have to transport them to the capital first, which means you already control the country or at least its airspace.
At that point a modern conventional war is already over.
Not necessarily. A semi truck full of drones could be parked in an isolated area, set up and take off. A single semi could take down a capital. You could realistically either smuggle it in the country or build them there. A lot of parts can even be 3D printed.
I am talking about small commercial drones that act like suicide bombers. They go one way and can be real cheap. Just deploy somewhat locally.
More expensive and less useful than you might think.
