|Conservapedia calls attention for the need to develop a missile defense system against drone swarms.<ref>https://www.conservapedia.com/Talk:Main_Page/Archive_index/184#Saudi_Arabia</ref> "Another problem is swarms of drones. If 50 long range cruise missile's were inbound, we know we could wipe out 60%+ of them; if a 1,000 small drones were launched just over the horizon, flying not much above tree-top level, that presents a new defensive problem that has not been combat tested yet."

Some of this is due to misdirected spending, where air defenses have been neglected or focused mainly on strategic nuclear threats.  But even here, air defense coverage in Europe is far from adequate.  Worse than that, what air defenses there are in NATO are not networked and not optimized to sort out threats and deal with the most lethal.<ref>[https://weapons.substack.com/p/is-nato-learning-about-its-future Is NATO Learning About Its Future in Ukraine?
