You didn't. You linked to a drone that could never threaten a destroyer, doesn't do anything like zerg'ing, a drone that could never likely reach a destroyer in the first place, and in the large sizes doesn't cost a few thousand dollars. You linked to a drone that can kill soldiers nearby, that's all; and the slightly bigger version can maybe disable armored vehicles nearby.
> You build the drones before the war, not during.
Which is an admission that you can't stay in the war once it begins. You'll quickly get wiped out. And the toy drones never reach the destroyers, because you have no ports, no transport, no manufacturing, no electricity, no boats, no ships.
> Doesn't have to be too far.
The toy drones you linked to can't threaten a destroyer at meaningful distances (and would be unlikely to severely damage a destroyer in the first place). And if the US is at war with eg Iran, the US is not going to sail its ships right up to Iran's shoreline and invite them to launch hundreds of poorly aimed, weak toy drones at them.

You can apply that logic to any equipment, and drones are going to be easier to build than a lot of other war waging equipment (eg how long does it take to build a ship?). There is a long history of unsophisticated groups waging long and successful wars against large, powerful nations. Preparing for the previous war is superpower 101.
