Radio controlled drones carrier drones to which the kamikaze drones are linked by fiber. Move the carrier in low EW area then control the kamikazes in high EW areas using the carrier as a relay.

This would be the way. Essentially the system would be an air-to-ground TOW missile. I wonder how difficult it is to source fiber at the scale needed.

However, a drone can take hits in non-critical areas whereas the fiber is even harder to hit but vulnerable to any caliber or shrapnel sent up. May not be a huge issue, though.
