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.

Bigger more expensive EMP burns through your more expensive MYLAR caged drones.

Battle continues.

I imagine a drone built for this could be an hour or two as some return to charge periodically on specific areas under protection.
