Likely cheaper to just coat the real drones in an aerogel or similar light weight, high thermal resistance material. It's an arms race still, but one with a reasonable amount of asymmetry in favour of an attacker.
> coat the real drones in an aerogel
You’d still have to deal with an asymmetric ablative jet.
