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.

Battle continues
