The answer to combating military armed drone swarms is simple:
Nuke the SOBs that use them.
Dead men/women/theys don't build, deploy or use armed drone swarms.
Nuking them, in the long run, will save more lives, cost less and end conflicts sooner.
Although it may not be PC to say it these days, the aim of war is to defeat the enemy as quickly as possible...and, like it or not, the most efficient way to do that is often to kill as many of them as you can as fast as you can.
Wake The Folks Up by telling them the ugly truth about war.
Good day.
Why nuke cities when you can just bomb factories with precision? We already have technology capable of sending a missile to a specific seat of a car. US military has been deploying missiles that just have big swords on them now because they are precise enough where they don't have to bank on a large explosion to ensure they hit their mark. If the enemy opted to shift manufacturing into homes or hide it otherwise, you could just have an agent on the inside who marks these targets from the ground and they are later destroyed with precision.
> Much, much more common in fiction (especially of the 'revenge fantasy' type) than in Real Life violence. To a strategist, overkill is Awesome, but Impractical because the risk of enemy survival is vastly outweighed by the certainty that you're spending a fortune in time, material, and (usually) manpower to ensure the enemy's death. The weaker and less numerous the target, the more wasteful overkill is.
I would add "or the more geographically dispersed" before "the enemy is".
