Give it a GPS location and let it crash. 5000 UAV’s built like that would do a lot of damage.

GPS (or Cnicomm equivalent) will work during the battle for Taiwan?

Good question. The Air Force can turn the GPS satellites signals off, but so much equipment is dependent on GPS that they probably wouldn’t. Older aircraft used inertial navigation systems for guidance, but from my experience, they are now obsolete and probably few people still repair them.
