I think you underestimate the lethality of remotely piloted drones with missiles and IR cameras and the futility of fighting against them.

You can pretty easily build / buy these. Look at Ukraine. Lots of their drones were just off the shelf. Jamming is super directional and easy to spot so fighting forces use it sparingly.
