Auto-turrets aren’t ready yet, but UKR does have FPV drones with props facing forward that can go ~400kph. (For anti-Shahed) These could work as interceptors and allow a small number to cover a larger area if they have a buffer zone—that is one interceptor can travel faster than the attacker so can be spread out more. Also drones can’t be stealthy (prop noise/radar etc) so there isn’t the element of surprise. It may only be 10 minutes but thats enough to get inside, in an internal room in most cases. No living by the border though in that case…
As I describe in this old post, I do expect anti-drone-drones to be really important. (Analogy: Flak cannons weren’t the only line of defense in ww2, or even the primary one; fighter planes were.)
