Why suddenly are these required to be taken out by anti rad munitions?
It's radar. They're practically setting off a beacon of their location through operation.
No I'm not disagreeing with you on the principle and have been making the exact same argument about scaling and cost in regards to the US defense doctrine for years. But there is no special munitions required to take out a small radar system, which is basically a bunch of highly sensitive electronics which must be exposed for the instrument to work. Any basic quad drone with a reasonable payload could easily take one out.
This doesn't detract from you main point, which I entirely agree with and have been promoting for years.
