1. It's surprising electronic warfare tech is not being used against the Iranian drones

There was a news story in the last few days of how the US obtained one of Iran's Shahed drones and then made copies of it to use against Iran.

That begs the question of why we're not using electronic warfare within the frequency spectrum to defeat these drones. Surely the reengineering effort by the US uncovered the radio frequencies used by the Iranians to operate these drones. If so, then electronic warfare technology should be able to use meaconing, intrusion, jamming, and interference (MIJI) to nullify the Iranian drones.
