Unlikely. You will rather a swarm of drones against an enemy that has no such technology.
A country that can have a swarm of drones would very likely also have nuclear weapons and deterrence is a thing.

Canada isn't going to be building nuclear weapons ever again[0], but we're going to have drone swarms. They don't melt the face off of a bunch of civilians. They can selectively target. They're cheap.
[0] Most people don't know this but Canada is one of the few countries that built nukes (in conjunction with America and the UK) and then gave them up. I think we still technically own the seven nukes, but America is in possession of them.

IIRC Daech is using swarms of drones against the Russian air base in Syria (they probably don't have AI inside though).
I think AI powered swarm of drones is certainly feasible for a small team of motivated engineers and modest funding.
The thing that would let them at a disadvantage is the quality or lack thereof of their missiles guidance system.

Why do people talk about swarms of drones but never of swarms of fighter jets? That's incredibly weird terminology considering drones are never deployed in this manner.

Unless the swarms are easily exploitable like the current "AI"s.

Yes, only thing is... usually it does not work that way in reality, and when they breech enemy defense drones, they will continue with a quick genocide.
The best algorithm will win the war.
People stop bullying your nerds at school if you don't want to loose your next war ;)
