Jamming sources can be identified and bombed because they are also effectively homing beacons

So what is the battlefield math on this?

Are you spending a $500,000 cruise missle to take out a $200 transmitter mounted to a tree? To allow your $20,000 drone to not get shot down?

What happens when you add 1,000 jammers?

It pretty quickly becomes not super effecient to deal with this.

ARMs are just the flashy example: COTS SDR gear and a howitzer also work pretty okay.
