Buddy, I'm from Ukraine and drone jammer and drone early warning schematics are basically public knowledge at this point. Drones mostly use the same sub-1GHz bands, 2.4 GHz bands and 5 Ghz bands that other consumer electronics also use. You can't put this genie back into the bottle. Both radio- and cyberwarfare are here to stay. Y'all just don't know it yet.

After the war there are going to exist a whole bunch of people who know how to deny GPS, defend against drones, build attack drones that bypass primitive countermeasures, spoof mobile networks, monitor the RF space for unencrypted signals, and set up actually secure comms. And not all of them are going to remain completely silent about all of this. Toys like Flipper are going to be the least problematic. Banning it achieves nothing.
