The only reason is that you need to have a platform every 5 feet or so.
Nobody is saying you can't take a drone out, they're saying you can't use SAMs from 30 miles away (affordably, I'm not made of money, unless I'm the DoD) so you need a ton more platforms.
Its raining buckshot
HALLELUJAH!
The classic denying of aerial superiority through oversaturation of the environment with projectiles, also known as pray & spray.
I thought it was spray first, pray second
Seems more like a short term solution unless you have a huge ammo budget.
Then we will drone in the shade.

Barrel wear will be crazy. As will heat generation.
I mean, it works in Battletech.
Is this essentially different to the current use of the FlAK-Panzer Gepard / SPAAG Cheetah in Ukraine?
I know it does, that's why I was curious about the novelty of that approach.

Wonder if you loaded shotgun shells with fishing line. You just have to take out one prop.
Confetti is actually a researched tactic.
As a bonus it can also reveal the gender of the drone.
Ok now I’m just picturing a drone with truck nuts. Thanks for that 😅
I wonder if Taofledermaus have done this?
That is a good question.
What about a fence made of balloons and fishing line
🤷… seems plausible.
The era of barrage balloons returns!
The return of the giant punt gun!
I do this in Battlefield. Works like a charm.
