For whatever reason the US Army has never fielded anything comparable to the Soviet/Russia ZSU-23 or the more modern Tunguska. I remember the failed Sergeant York from the 1980s. A ZSU-23 would make mince meat out of a drone.

A ZSU-23 would seem to be overkill for taking out most drones. Not sure if something of that scale, or something using Hellfires or Stingers, is the right answer vs. drone swarms.
I’d think a Ma Deuce solution might be the answer here. Perhaps a radar-directed updated quadmount?
Would hate to be in the collateral damage impact zone.

I think the idea would be a Stinger mount. All you would need to do to avoid a gun is stay at altitude. Given modern optics you could stay out of a gun’s range.
