I wonder would something like a small anti-radiation missile work against whoever is sending the strong EW signal

So now you have SEAD missions to protect your CAS missions but all in 1/14th scale FPV drones… the future is wild. It’s a game of rock-paper-scissors-lizard-spock.

I doubt the signal is stronger than mobile phone or satellite connection.

And the drone is too small to be intercepted with missile.

FPV drone costs 500-1000$ now and is the game changer in the current war. No ground offensive operation can be maid now without great loses.

A missile is too heavy, it's easier to just fly the drone into the jammer if you can locate it.

Or an anti-radiation drone!
