Why isn't anybody asking what is Iran's, Russia's and China's response to cheap, mass produced AND good western drones?

Over there, life is cheap, I hear

Neither Russia nor Iran have any sort of proper response to this kind of attack. China might be tinkering with Microwave weapons to fry the drone swarms mid-air. I know for a fact that the US is experimenting with this concept.

I don't know about the other 2 but we get daily/weekly videos of Russia's response to cheap, mass produced drones.

Pick 3 (hint, it's not "cheap")

China is investing massively in counter drone tech. Perun went in depth on this in his coverage of last year's parade (timestamped for your convenience). This vehicle has 24 launchers each with 4 missiles each. Very implessive.

Of the three, only Russia has been retarded enough to attack another country. Iran doesn't matter in general, and nobody is going to attack China (especially now with the US expending most of its munitions on a country that is of no strategic importance), so they don't need to worry about getting attacked by shasneeds or shasneed equivalents.

We know two of the three's reponses already
>Iran can't do shit
>Russia can't do shit
chinks are the only ones that have yet to be tested

For a country that just (presumably) executed the people in charge of two of their most advanced weapons programs I think it's safe to say they're at the "another forty years" point still.

We have literal hours of footage of Russia's solutions to the drone issue.
So far very few of them have proven particularly effective.

Cheap is relative, for example $30-60k for 1-2 Warmates to destroy equipment worth milions is still very, very affordable and they don't have to be manually guided by one guy per drone the whole way

Fiber optic FPV drones are actually more expensive if you consider cost/effect ratio and not the unit cost, you need multiple and often even dozens of manually operated FPVs to do the job of 1-2 quality western drones

And that's not even getting into the time, labour and safety of drone operators because thirdies themselves don't seem to value those things too much
