"Drone for \"Pantsir\" is too small a target": Military pilot pointed to the lack of airfield protection

The perimeter of an average airfield is 40km, the size of an FPV drone is 17 cm

Currently, there are no guaranteed ways to protect military airfields from small drones. This was pointed out by military expert and retired pilot Fighterbomber.

According to him, FPV drones are too small a target for the Pantsir anti-aircraft missile systems (SAM). The military pilot clarified that the issue with fiber optic drones has not been resolved.

Let me remind you that the perimeter of an average airfield is 40km. The size of an FPV drone is  17 cm. It is clear that we will come up with something here too. The question is, at what cost, and how soon.
