The basic issue with drones is fairly simple: if you need to constantly use million dollar AMRAAMs to shoot down 20k drones, that's going to become a problem over time, because you're going to run out of money or missiles before the other side is going to stop sending more drones. It's not an insurmountable problem, but it's still a real issue currently.

What you're saying is true, but you don't seem to be drawing a conclusion to this, what does 'a problem over time' mean? Yes shooting down drones is expensive... so... pretty soon Ukraine won't be able to afford to do it? What is the natural conclusion from this $1m vs $20k fact? The war itself is costing Ukraine and its allies billions. Some millions of that is going into air-defence, this is true. Hundreds of millions more are going into equipment procurement... so... what? Say it.
edit: Going back and reading more posts... Yes, Russia's strategy is to inflict infrastructure and cost damage. Ukraine's strategy is to defeat Russia's army on the battlefield. I like Ukraine's chances of winning this conflict through their strategy.
