If I was going to outfit an offensive I would:
- go interior rogue (terrorism with highly committed thugs, expendable)
- mess up infrastructure
- mess up water, food and electricity
- set up bio-warfare, not to kill but to tie up resources
- unleash the drones...
The whole thing wouldn't take as much resources as an all out offensive and frankly would take about a year to bring any country down that wasn't used to hardship...

Virtually all science fiction.
Only in James Bond movies and other movies about megalomaniacs can you find the large numbers of henchmen that are a willing to die for the boss. Usually one punch to the jaw drops them like a sack of flower.
The infrastructure of a country is vast. Yea, messing up some hubs will slow things down a lot and rebuild a bridge is not quick and easy.
You will need a LOT of drones and operators and a level of artificial intelligence we are not close to developing yet. You are thinking of the Terminator movies. We are a long way from that technology.
