I thought that the soviets already solved that one in the 80s. First, you figure out how long it takes a laser installation to lock onto and destroy a drone.

I thought that the soviets already solved that one in the 80s. First, you figure out how long it takes a laser installation to lock onto and destroy a drone. Let's say it take five minutes. You then build a bunch of cheap, $100 decoy drones that have no payload or remote control capability. You send decoys through at a rate of ten per minute, overwhelming the laser system. Amongst the decoys, you send a real drone or two. You adjust the decoy rate and number of drones until you've calculated that you have a 99% chance that a real drone gets through. Granted, your costs have gone up an order of magnitude, since you need to spend so much money on decoys. On the other hand, drones are just going to keep getting cheaper and the decoys even more. Besides, if you use your first couple of drones to destroy the laser, you don't even have to worry about decoys after that point.
