I acknowledge that the following information is a bit off-topic. Nevertheless, it's worth considering this topic as well. Who knows, it might not be long before it becomes part of our everyday lives.
EMP – How dangerous are electromagnetic weapons?
Electromagnetic weapons are considered the most dangerous weapons technology that could cripple countries, cities, power grids or entire regions to gain a strategic advantage during an attack. To date, there exist no such weapons officially in existence that work with an EMP (electromagnetic pulse). In secret, the military worldwide has been researching on electromagnetic weapons for decades that could eventually be used.
This technology would render all flying, unprotected drones completely unusable within the radius of explosion, whether or not they are connected to fiber optic cables.
Thank you for this analysis. Intersting as always. Minor correction suggestion. I think you name is Benjamin Cook, so you should maybe update the post on that.
Interesting technical background article with a lot of information and a promising concept, but IMHO with some flaws, but first there is a typo at the very beginning (i.e. Donald Cook).
1) Dedection isn't automatically defence.
2) The dection ranges are for my taste a little bit too small, because if a drone travels at 120 km/h it
only needs 30 secs for 500m. With an audio dedection range of 200-300 m and a human mind
making decisions the situation could get a little bit 'hairy'.
Thanks Ben. I would like to know how the parties identify the affiliation of the many drones in the air in the frontline zone, how the fighters/operators determine which drones are enemy and which are "friendly", which ones need to be shot down and which ones can be ignored.
Deconfliction is a problem. Troops on the Zero Line are now resupplied by drone. How do you know if it's bringing you food or there to drop a bomb? There are a lot of methods. From low tech, showing up on a schedule, to high tech like an infra red beacon light or a friend/foe tag.

These solutions are not rugged enough to survive High Explosives from artillery fire.
The cost ( equipment plus human technician) îs also large for its range.
These are useful to protect a comand post in the rear area but not the trenches.

Donald Cook y Benjamin Hill.
Hard to stay hidden when you emit RF.
Interesting, this makes sense to me
