Yeah. The solution is likely more along the lines of making the drones cheap and disposable, and fighting these systems with traditional air defense suppression.

Very much agreed. I see this "phaser" system as a neat tool that could work along side conventional anti-air such as Patriot batteries to make it pretty difficult to gain air superiority.
