The only reasonable counter-tactic against cheap drones have been EW measures. They're by no means perfect but it's the best any of the two sides has at this moment (yes, it's better than the AA weaponry they have at their disposal).

Here's a video [1] of a Ukrainian drone hitting Russian EW equipment on a tower and here's a Russian video [2] presenting their EW works against incoming Ukrainian drones.

Easy to defeat with automatic target recognition and tracking. You only need to get in the general vicinity and let the drone figure it out, which is what I suspect new Lancet is doing.

Yeah, even cheaper and lighter batteries will allow for even more processing to be carried out "locally", on the drone itself, with reasonable good automatic target recognition becoming viable.
