I don't doubt farmers believed it and implemented jamming. But this story about drones spraying viruses is just propaganda to deflect negative attention away from the authorities and farmers themselves during this crisis. It's a nice catchy headline with absolutely no support.

That’s a chilling title. How long before we have terrorists doing something similar over a crowd of people? It’s also very hard to track down the perpetrator.
