provided you are not concerned about protecting specific people, an effective countermeasure is to have a large number `n` of people distributed in space, where `n` is much larger than `d`, where `d` is the number of suicide drones.

similar measures can be used to defend against people driving trucks into crowds, or so on.

This is true only if you're talking conventional warfare. What I'm scared of are lone terrorists who want to use drones.
