Depends, if it's just like this then it might be stupid, but if this could quickly rise into the air and decend quickly, this could be fantastic ambush drone.
Makes moving armour and even aircraft impossible if you risk these popping up and firing a missile at you.
And then you make drones more advanced to get round it or redeploy them in a smarter way, we've had the same process with EVERYTHING in the military. The best example is heatseeker missiles and flares trying to constantly one up each other.
It might be a few decades but we might end up with those drones from killzone 2/3, the trick is just being able to mass produce them.
Looks stupid.
What they need to make small-ish cheap platforms with either a precision gun (also against other drones) or a (recoilless?) grenade launcher.
Also easily deployable swarms of miniature and automated suicide drones.

Yeah for the six months it takes to develop countermeasures

Eventually they'll move on from drones like they moved on from flares to ecm jammers and counter lasers.
