In November, we explored the rapidly changing dynamics of the Russian military’s use of Shahed 136-style loitering munitions in the Ukraine conflict using Petro Ivaniuk's curated dataset on Russian missile strikes.
Mass produced cheaper weapons overwhelm by numbers very expensive fewer weapons, continued.
Solution : Anduril certainly has counter-drone drones (roadrunner) and aims for low cost mass production.
Solutions also should be AAA gun+ AI , and maybe DEW (laser, microwave). I can’t imagine CIWS is useless, I am well informed by practitioner even small arms and yes shotguns work with small suicide drones.
The common soldier must have violent agency (ability to fight back) or it’s over psychologically.

Violent agency is a very good way to put it!
If they can’t fight back it’s over in their minds. Or at least hopeless.
