The range needed could be 30.000 feet ...
the US arguably lost the VN war because they kept expecting the VK to fight like the US
why would you try to counter the jet at 30k feet?
a jet takes so long to build and so much to maintain the supply chain is super vulnerable
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.
what kind of up time do they have
I imagine a drone built for this could be an hour or two as some return to charge periodically on specific areas under protection.
