Raytheon Technology successfully tests high-power microwave capabilities against drones And the troops can get popcorn in 2.1 seconds. Too bad it scorches and smells bad at 2.2 seconds.

This is microwave generated EMP. Such can be quite directional and will toast the semiconductors in the circuitry controlling the drone.

It is not EMP, it clearly states it is HEL.

... but the title clearly says microwave, so there are two systems here, one microwave, and one laser.

Seems like it would be easy to defend against. Just wire mesh. Like is on the inside of your microwave oven.

Not as easy to do as it sounds. The wiring to the motors will let the signals right in. And that shielding adds weight.

Would tend to kill ability to control the drone.
Wrap your cell phone in mesh and see how well you can dial out.
Oh, I forget, no one talks on those things these days........
