Drone usage in this war has been idiotic. Drones as attrition to deplete defenses typically focuses on cities or well defended targets. The proper way to use them is not to solely focus on major targets (mind you that you should do that, but only 50% or so) but to also attack as many minor distributed targets as possible.
Throw a drone every day at every cell tower, gas station, car lot, small town water treatment plant, police station, ect that you can reach. A pick up truck in a driveway is a target. The smallest most minor thing that could be considered 'infrastructure' is a target. 25 acre farm harvesting potatoes? Blast the trucks they are being loaded on. Hit the garage the tractor is in while you are at it.
You would use PO-2s like that. Hit EVERYTHING that is somewhere that defenses are not. A thousand pinprick attacks, all meaningless alone but as a gestalt a steady degradation of everything modern humans need to exist. Forget rail hubs, declare 'no vehicle' zones where anything with a internal combustion engine is fair game.
Do actual total war, not this half assed shit that BOTH sides are doing like wasting drones on old guys walking their dogs. Hitting that guy is meaningless, if you can hit him you can hit his car or set a house on fire. Shelter or a vehicle have value, killing a retiree and his pet actually helps your foe by reducing the national logistical burden of a non combatant.
Neither side in this conflict has a truly objective understanding of what it means to destroy a culture or nations existence despite at least one (Russia) having that as a goal, nor do they have an objective and/or logical blueprint on how to do that.
Example: You know what would be a great target? Pulp mills that make paper products like toilet paper and tampons. See how much Russia's civilian population likes not being able to wipe their asses or their women having blood dripping down their legs once a month.
