Why would you use a missile against a Shahed? Only if you weren’t prepared for that threat and haven’t updated your tactics. The future will be automated drones and use the guns for close range.
As for CIWS, I bet a software update can let it be much more efficient with ammo against slow moving targets. Let’s say 10 per drone, which would mean a Phalanx would be able to take down about 150 per magazine.
You basically need to have an extra layer of air defense to the existing model. Missiles for fast moving threats, drones and guns for the slower threats.
And how many weapons do you think NK can even produce? They have to import all their electronics and hardly have the expertise to improve the technology significantly.
Where do you get 250k UAVs from? If Russia is targeting 5000 a month, what makes you think NK can even manage 500 a month? Which would take 40 years to amass 250k.
And hope to counter 250k UAVs? How about 10m UAVs? That’s how much more economic strength SK has in comparison. And that’s not even considering using a cheaper design as a counter.

Lmao dude what the fuck would you propose be used against a quarter million kamikaze UAVs?
And more importantly: the defenders need to get lucky every single time. The attackers only need to get lucky once.
