The crazy part is that this video was made already one month ago, I didn’t realized warship started to intercept drones that early.
I hope a war won’t start, but It may-be an interesting conflict to watch, and with the massive impact cheap drones have in Ukraine and Armenia it may-be less asymmetric than the previous ones. A pitty that one more time kids will come back in wooden box to please a few rich assholes owning stocks in the defence industry.
The biggest problem with that approach, especially in a full blown war, is the opponent with the technical edge can usually pinpoint where the drone was either launched from, or is being controlled from.
And you will not be intercepting whatever they shoot back with.
I want to say the US was quietly reporting shooting down drones and even missiles basically within days of the start of the conflict.
It is just that it is not in the US’s interest to say “We are under attack and need to get directly involved in this shitshow”, it is not in Israel’s interest to acknowledge that this ethnic cleansing is part of a larger war against their neighbors, and it isn’t in Al Jazeera/Qatar’s interest to acknowledge anything but the ethnic cleansing.
What I will add: Random drones and even missiles aren’t entirely unheard of even when there is not a conflict waiting to boil over. It is just, again, it isn’t really in anyone’s interest to make a big deal out of them.

It’s like this video was made to be commented in this thread. It uses the same conflict as an example and it covers the same details from the question
