So when do these drones start carrying chaff to evade anti drone missles?

A little payload loss for chance to survive?

Might be cheaper to make more drones

Would that even work? How would you detect the missile? And even then, are they fast enough to evade the blast anyway? I would assume anti drone missiles probably would close the distance way too fast and detonating on chaff would probably still carry significant risk of losing the drone.

Well they are flown by a person so they could see it in theory at least from a certain angle, unless the camera are 360. The rest though ya, might be a problem
