This will last exactly as long as it takes somebody to fly a drone into the side of the White House. Not any kind of special drone, just some idiot trying to get a cool shot for their YouTube channel.
We might get a video of the white house's defence systems shooting it down instead.
If said work was more than a year ago then it is significantly outdated.
Watch perun's videos covering drone warfare in Ukraine it gives a good overview of what has been tried and its effective.
The us government absolutely can shoot down a couple hundred dollar drone its just a matter of if they need to use a half a million dollar intercepted to do it.
Ahh I'm sorry for doubting you.
I was under the impression argument for the drones not being impeded in Ukraine was an economic one.
Civdiv on yt has some very interesting content on the subject.
