Before Ukrain everyone though drones were easy to counter. Now that has proven false. granted Trump probably isn't thinking that, but the concern should be real. We need better drone defense before someone (Russia, Iran...) starts anonymously shooting down airplanes.

That's nonsense. Many countries have been using drones before. (Starting with Nazi Germany during WW 2.)

  We have learned counters for them over the years. Ukraine makes drones vastly cheaper than the current counters and so we can be bankrupted trying the current counters.
