If we're looking at a battlespace where high signature vehicles are prohibitively vulnerable and low signature infantry is simultaenously survivable and lethal (via calling for precision fires), maybe the way forward is less to try and proof AFVs and more to boost infantry mobility and load carrying ability.
Or, in short: Heinlein probably nailed it.

If every fire team has a grenade launcher... maybe it's time 40mm buckshot made a comeback for anti-drone use.

I'm not convinced by the footage, but I'm not a truck expert so:
Also, re: small warheads vs naval vessels... an Argentinian corvette strayed too close to the Royal Marine garrison on South Georgia back in 82:
"Opening fire on the ship, the Royal Marines riddled the bridge with gunfire and killed a sailor trying to get the 40 mm back into action. They also hit the vessel with a LAW and two Carl Gustav rounds for good measure, inflicting more damage and knocking out the ships Exocet anti-ship missiles."

Something I can't believe I never thought of before: distant low flying aircraft can be engaged by MANPADS at a shallow angle... for example, out a window. Maybe best finding a much bigger room to absorb that backblast though.
