“Russia is now jamming GPS over Ukraine (which, by the way, is why you don’t hear about our drones doing anything, anymore).”

As if GPS is the only way drones can operate.

Yep, there are others options besides GPS, but they’re so 20th century that they’re likely not used on Switchblades. Maybe they figured out that GPS can bet easily jammed, now... So newer stuff might be better. Maybe not, though.

Without GPS the drone’s cameras stop working, right? Following terrain is too difficult for today’s operators - sort of like paper map reading
