Turkey has the STM Kargu, which reportedly was devastating in the most recent # Nagorno-Karabakh fighting, as the autonomous suicide drone can’t be jammed
Ukrainian units have (reportedly) already loaded ‘final approach’ AI target tracking and flight controls on their suicide FPV & glider drones, to counter Russian RF jammers mounted on tanks and heavy vehicles
We really, really aren’t prepared for the threat vector that cheap (sub $500/ea for FPV) and autonomous drones provide, and every RF engineer and drone enthusiast I’ve spoken to has no good counter aside from barriers like nets. And that’s just the ones that fly their bombs INTO things, drone-dropped explosives are hard to detect without thermal imagers or specialized radar/acoustic detection
