How would manned fighter jets counter an adversary like in this video?

You can see the swarm of drones that could absolutely wreak havoc and out pilot humans with AI advancement.

That drone swarm is dropped from a fighter and they don't go very fast or probably have much range. The was to defend would be to stop the fighter flying over your target. I'm not sure it dropping drones would be any more effective than dropping guided bombs in the traditional way.
