"The use of attack helicopters for countering drones is a Band-Aid solution to loitering munitions (i.e. 'kamikaze drones') but will be outdated once drones are used in swarms, and with autonomy, which are capabilities that both the Iranians and Russians are working on."
"Given their versatility, helicopters can be used to conduct air defense tasks in case of need, although this is not their primary role. Israeli Apaches have been used several times in the past to intercept hostile drones coming from Lebanon and Syria, so this is not surprising."
