“divert Russian drones to their command centers”

Drones might have a compass, AM/FM signal monitoring, sun/star position guidance, road tracking guidance, etc.

With modern 50 megapixel or more and infrared capabilities for zero or low light screens it’s 1980s level tech to do digital scene mapping like tomahawk cruise missiles did for decades that level tech could be put into a smartphone now. Back in the 80s twenty feet CEPs were achieved using TERCOM and digital scene matching. Watch some of the older Gulf war footage from downtown Baghdad you would see what looked to be photo flashes from the sky light up an area on the ground then whoosh as a middle goes by those flashes were the downward facing camera system snapping a image to then match to satellite imagery thus showing down to the few feet where the middle just over flew that would then be updated to the INS and course corrections made when the missile gets to it’s target it starts to snap forward images seconds before impact to home in on the doorway or vent hole it’s targeting those split second flashes don’t give enough info for a intercept to be made this was in the 1980_90s all that is miniaturized now. Russia doesn’t need GPS they have GLONASS and for sure copied TERCOM and scene matching tech too.
