Wait til the Durham report comes out. Iran will be toast.

Bottom line, we're getting our butts kicked basically because Trump and company are fighting the last war

one commentator made the point that if Trump hadn't dissed Zelenski so badly, he might have called Trump up and told him what was coming and how to deal with it.

The Navy has spent a lot of effort on laser tech, which could be a big neutrallizer against drones, in fact against all airborne threats, if they can make it work. To stick with the paradigm of the article, the kill cost with a directed energy weapon is measured in pennies and a single unit can take down a whole swarm in seconds seriatum (again - this is the theory.) There was a lot press on this a few years ago, but things have largely gone silent, which means they've either hit a technical issue they can't solve, or they are quietly starting to role it out. Seeing as the Gulf would have been the perfect place to apply it, the latter seems doubtful.

Swarm/drone warfare requires exquisite geoint resources.  Nobody has that better than the US government.  Google Maps don't work if the baddies have not allowed Google into the country and/or have distorted all the publicly available maps so that for some reason the 6th and Vine in Pyongyang is actually showing up in Inchon.  

Ukraine's bold attacks on Russia are because they are getting help from somewhere.  It might not be with the Oval Office's awareness.
