There's still a 12 count of combined Tor and Pantsir AD systems that shouldn't be on that list. That's basically an entire Russian air defense brigade from what cursory TOE research I've done.

I wouldn't be surprised if America has been sitting on an anti-drone system, but it's also so big it has to be mounted on an APC. And it needs so much juice you have to plug it into an electrical grid.

this shall be humorous
Regarding WW2 Italy stuff:

Italian soldiers in Yugoslavia were, as a general rule, a lot less motivated to die for the sake of their glorious fascist leader than German soldiers were, and there were Italian defectors to the Yugoslav Partizans (and there's generally a lot of avoided bloodshed even when there weren't outright defection), but Italians soldiers still torched villages for shits and giggles, and massacred their populations, and Italy only stopped executing captured Partizans when the Partizans started returning the favor.

While Italian occupied lands in Yugoslavia were, as a general rule, safer for Jews than other occupied parts of the country, don't make the mistake of thinking that fascist Italy wasn't operating concentration camps, or targeting the Jewish populace. When Yugoslav Partizans liberated the Rab island concentration camp from the Italians in 1943, there were 2500 Jewish inmates in it. (and lemme tell you, what Italy did to the Slovene inmates wasn't pretty either)

It very well may not be an issue of equipment but proxy conflicts by their nature are chaotic and that is where drones shine. It doesn’t take much to bring them down (the TB 2 is going 150 miles an hour and has no armor to speak of) but you actually need to be setup to face them. If your AA isn’t manned or the crew has no idea what they are doing (or you simply don’t have real AA), drones are going to make mince meat of the opposing force.

If anything it is sort of the same issue the Germans had with the Night Witches.

Also, that article is pretty much trash (riddled with errors) even if the TB-2 has proven itself. (Also plenty of TB-2s have been taken out, so I don’t know where their “invincibility” comes from.)

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.
