India has claimed it killed ~350 militants in their strike while Pakistan claims that the strikes resulted in 0 casualties. It is hard to decide if the Indian military is just as incompetent as they've always been or if the Pakistanis are just lying as usual.

Overrated Allied Weaponry in World War II

By far the most integral part of the BE was India and the path from London to Bombay ran through the Mediterranean where the Brits were probably the most vulnerable. Still, US carriers >UK carriers -
I'd assume you'd want manned tanks + infantry in places where you want to hold territory and use unmanned ground vehicles to be used in high risk situations where the destruction of such a vehicle is likely even if you armor the thing heavily. Therefore, I'd think most UGVs would use the most economic chassis as possible (so things like M113s would be great). If we are starting from scratch, I'd still think M113-like UGVs would be prefered by most nations looking at the current trend towards designing vehicles for urban and COIN warfare. Major powers may still want some faster UGVs too play a role in a conventional role and I'd think they look like a slimmed down M8 AGS/2S25 Sprut as you'd make the silhouettes smaller by getting rid of crew space .
