Obviously this does not work for military grade drones, or not all of them, or FPV drones would not be killing 10's of thousands in Ukraine - Russian theater.
There are many reports of anti-drone electronic disruption, but many, many attacks are still happening without any thing stopping them. It may be because of limited deployment of electronic weapons, I don't know for sure.
On Intel_Slava Z I keep seeing references to optical-fiber drones. It seems amazing to me, but I can only suppose this means that the drone control is from an optical fiber that it unspools in flight. If so, it would be invulnerable to electronic warfare of the signal disruption variety. The EM fields would need to be large enough to disrupt the electronics package.
Yup, impervious to radio jamming, and site picture does not disappear as drone get close to target when other drones lose signal.
It's unbelievable that the drone can spool out nearly 7 miles of fiber optic cable.
But this type of weapon has been around since the 70's really in some form. Remember the American TOW missile, (“Tube-launched, Optically tracked, Wire-guided.” This missile had a range or around 2.5 miles and guided via a pair of copper wires.

Notice clarity of site picture all the way to target. https://rumble.com/v5yr7ck-drone-operators-destroyed-an-abrams-tank-in-kursk-full-video.html?e9s=src_v1_ucp
You can see the electronic counter-measure on the right side of this truck sticking up. It did not stop the fiber-optic drone. https://rumble.com/v5zfcte-russian-fpv-drone-hit-a-ukrainian-pickup-truck-transporting-soldiers.html
