Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Aren't drones being taken out by some kind of electronic warfare trucks in Ukraine though?
It's really, really, really complicated. There are a huge number of different kinds of uavs/drones, they're controlled using different systems, there are various ways to fuck with them. This is deep lore video essay territory.
any good non-chud (and preferably non-lib) channels or podcasts etc out there about the like?
I'm afraid I know just enough about it to know I don't know much about it. It gets deep in to the weeds with things like spoofing GPS satellite signals to fool GPS guided drones, drones that use intertial navigation and image recognition so they can't be interrupted if they lose their command signal, shooting combat drones down with shotguns. I'm sure there's scads of good information out there, but I don't have any of it handy.
Damn, I was hoping we had a War-Nerd-but-tankie out here somewhere
Idk if they've done an episode on it but The War Nerd would be one of my go-to places to look. They definitely know enough people to know someone who knows how this works.
Millennium 7 * HistoryTech is a pretty good non-chud channel for the technical aspects military tech
