The race is on to create a vehicle that can a) stay alive when attacked by drones, b) counter drone attacks to make it possible to break through or hold defensive position against incoming armour etc.

Russia is so much ahead on this race that the west has no chance in future wars.

That would be an very expensive counter measure.
I can by a drone with range and payload for let say 400 us dollars. And many of them. So counter measure should be as cheap and easy to build. Otherwise it becomes a spending match that one will lose for sure.

I once suggested a fine maze net fired in direction of drone. Since drones have a perticular sound pitch and a signal trace this could be done quite accurate.
Nets are very very cheap. So you can use a lot. And retrieve.
I call my system Spiderman.

Thanks for the link. I haven't watched it yet but would like to note that the question "how much...really..." is very important.
Journalists, in Ukraine as well, while talking about the last Bill, continue to repeat the nonsense about "$60B aid for Ukraine". While the actual number for Ukraine itself is lower, probably about half of the total in the Bill.
Every aid package is important, of course.
But I foresee how in 2025 there will be talks "Ah, we gave them 60 billion..."
 
Yesterday in Odessa.
Most probably, Iskander ballistic missile with cluster munition.
The area is a part of the so-called "health track" where people walk, jog, ride bicycles, etc.
