this plus automatic anti drone drone network would render long range drone obsolete

    Counter measures don't typically make a weapon platform obsolete.

    What makes a weapon platform obsolete is that it's role is no longer needed in battle.

    Long-rang strikes and precision fires, are the new meta.

    Expect to see a proliferation of new countermeasures, such as cheaper and more plentiful detection systems, of which radars will play a part, but they're also easy to detect and destroy i.e. SEAD.

    I was actually wondering if this would actually deter or counter SEAD as due to its low range and low cost you could set up much much more of them across a larger area either saturating the enemy’s ability to do SEAD or at the very least causing the enemy to incur larger ammunition costs/risk their crafts on more sorties
