Stealth hyper-sonic missiles at nape of the earth will be next delivery platform. Guaranteed 30min or it's free.
Sensors, mines, cameras, com links, etc.

Hiding and/or loiter capability while daytime solar recharging on hills or structures.
Pop-out camouflaged structures to look like rock/grass/debris as a hub while observing for arty and other standoff strikes and maintaining a perimeter defense.
Marinade a safe LZ and FOB ahead of time.

SAMs and MBTs control the ground until their sensors stop working.
Nighttime attacks using chemical sprays or limpet by micro-drone carried by the smaller ones.
