Making a cloud of drone flak is very cheap and easy and can take out multiple types of threats. They talk to each other and act as a redundant pinpoint targeting system.
Boom a cheap EMP blast takes out all your 700 drones.
It's a never ending battle.
But that EMP blast also destroys any electronic hardware (radios, NVG, etc) that your good guys have on them as well
Faraday cages on the drones electronics. Battle continues
Bigger more expensive EMP burns through your more expensive MYLAR caged drones.
Battle continues.
Bigger faraday cage and larger battery
Battle continues
The drones are now the size of the fighter jets 🤔
